I do like Firefox, I switched at Microsoft Explorer version 7 which totally sucked too bad I had to change.

But one annoying thing about Firefox, when downloading files for some reason it gives me no choice on which
folder to download it to and it only downloads directly on my desktop.

Which after downloading I have to manual move it to where I want it.

Images I can download to where ever I choose but anything else I have no choice.

Annoying but still better than IE

You can reset the default folder by going into the Tools/Options box and specifying the folder by browsing to the one you want.

Click Tools/Options/Main and there is a group of download settings where you can specify a standard download directory or choose to be asked for the location each time.

That's a setting in preferences (or tools/options for you folks stuck in Winders). Should be under the "Main" tab.
