Control Firefox Downloads

When you download and save a file using Firefox, it automatically saves it into the Desktop. If you don’t delete these as you go, your Desktop can soon get cluttered. To keep mine tidier, I created a Firefox Downloads folder. To do this just right-click on the Desktop, choose New and then Folder, then rename it Firefox Downloads. Next open Firefox and select Tools, Options and Main. Look for ‘Save Files to’ and click Browse. Then choose the folder you just created. Any downloads you make are stored in this folder and can be easily located, deleted or stored neatly.

Alternatively, in the same Main section of the Options, tick the ‘Always ask me where to save files’ option and you can make a decision for each download.
