I've tried to have all downloaded files go to a folder on my desktop but the only location they go seems to be the temp folder. As shown in the question the files are supposed to go to (C:\Users\Barry\Desktop\Newest Downloads ) since I went the following location - (Options>General>Downloads>Save Files to> ) Anyone know how to fix this?

When you change 'Options>General>Downloads>Save Files to>' does it change back?

Note: Some software, like Advanced SystemCare with Surfing Protection, can protect files in the Firefox profile folder against changes. If you have such software then check the settings or uninstall this software.

Having more than one version of a program may cause issues. You must remove the older programs. Then get the current full installer.

Flash: Grab the uninstaller from here: Uninstall Flash Player | Windows Uninstall Flash Player | Mac

Then reinstall the latest version.

Note: Windows users should download the active_x for Internet Explorer. and the plugin for Plugin-based browsers (like Firefox).

Note: Windows 8 and Windows 10 have built-in flash players and Adobe will cause a conflict. Install the plugin only. Not the active_x.
