Ever download a file and then wonder – where do I find it now? Did you know that you can choose what folder your downloads are saved in so you can find them easier?

Click on the Firefox button (Tools menu in Windows XP) and then click Options (Preferences on a Mac) to access the options window. Then make sure you’re on the General tab. In the middle of that screen, you’ll see the Downloads section. Select the “Save files to” box (or radio button) and then click “Browse” to search your computer for the file you’d like to use. Or, you can slect “Always ask me where to save files” and each time you download, you can be asked to select a specific folder for that download. See our support site for more information on managing your downloads.
