When I change the default folder to save downloads in the options menu, it later reverts to the default folder even though I have made not changes in options. Any ideas? thanks!

In the Options menu I changed the default download location (folder) to a folder I have on my desktop and saved the changes. But this option reverts to the default folder when I turn on my computer and open FF the next day.

See:

If you use cleanup software like CCleaner then check the settings for the Firefox application.

Thank you for your response.

I do use CCleaner and just ran it. It did not change the download option folder that I had changed from the default so it appears that this is not cause.

Any other suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks again!
