I have successfully been downloading some pictures from Photobucket for over 1 1/2 years. I decided to use Firefox as my browser since it is so much faster & better than any other that I have. My photos are being downloaded to folders in File Explorer & synced to cloud. The path on the folders that I download into shows PC>Pictures where they should be going. The photos are now going into OneDrive>Pictures and now I am not able to open them using my default app. I cannot open them to the page that is in Windows 10, where they have always automatically gone. I cannot take advantage of any of the nice editing, resize and lots more options on a nice black screen so that you can copy or share a nice clear, crisp image.

The only way I can open my thumbnails in my FileExplorer folders is to use paint, TWINUI & also, I did a registry edit to get access to the old photo viewer that was on Windows 7 & 8 but no longer shows up on Windows, which I am using. It is possible to do registry edits and make it show up. Turns out that it is totally useless to me, as is TWINUI, which is recommended for Windows 10. I am now opening them with "paint" at least you can resize them there but it is not what I need either. I need to be able to download into ThisPC>Pictures and use the one provided on Windows 10.

Is it possible that there is a setting in Firefox that I might have missed which would solve this problem. I did go to the settings to select where you wanted your downloads to go. I can use browse and it will not include PC.Pictures as a choice. I tried using "always ask" feature; I choose PC>Pictures but when they are downloaded they do go in the proper folder with a path of PC>Pictures. They are still being assigned the path of OneDrive>Pictures. When you open properties, you can see that.

I am attaching a couple of screenshots where you hopefully can better understand. It is difficult to get the exact wording to describe my problem in a couple of sentences. It might be helpful to know that I had completed 44 folders prior to using FireFox. They all had the right path and opened to the place they should go to. When this issue arose, it not only changed the path on every picture in every folder that I had on my PC.

I have contacted OneDrive regarding this problem. After all, it is the OneDrive path that is causing the pictures not to open to the photo edit page. Basically they said, go use IE, TWINUI or Windows photo viewer as your default. They actually did not know that the old Windows photo viewer was not even on Windows 10. Should I follow their suggestion, I would be back to my original problem of not being able to open any thumbnail.

My 1st image does not seem to be working, so I am doing Properties again. Properties are shown from the top photo ( woman in black head dress) which is in a folder from File Explorer with a path that reads - C:\Users\my name\PC>Pictures

Seems to be a problem with Win10 and OneDrive, seems like OneDrive is set to automatically move your pictures to the cloud. I would suggest disabling OneDrive completely and create a new folder that is not followed by the OneDrive directory.

So C:/temp/ or C:/users/my name/temp and place the downloads there from Firefox to test.

Also make sure there are no shortcut folders that are pointing to OneDrive, that would cause that problem too.

I really do appreciate your reply 

     First let me say, I avoided switching to Windows 10 as long as I could so I actually have very little knowledge of how it works and especially OneDrive.  Every thing I have done in the past couple of years using Windows 10 has been by doing searches.  Thankfully, I can still read and follow directions.
    I'm certain that my question will verify my complete lack of knowledge. When I follow your instructions:   " I would suggest disabling OneDrive completely and create a new folder that is not followed by the OneDrive directory"; how will my photos get to OneDrive and thus the cloud?   I am doing all this work in order to get 46 folders of photos into cloud for safe keeping.  No doubt, I will have over twice that many by the time I finish; assuming I am going to get it all done in one lifetime.
    I look forward to hearing back from you regarding this.

Hmm well from your problem it seemed you couldn't edit your photo's while they are on OneDrive correct? if you can get to the onedrive settings and change them to how it will work for you and then save your pictures from Firefox to your local user folder. From there you can edit them and when you're done you can just drag and drop the completed ones into the onedrive folder.

If you are editing photo's then here are some free open-source programs that I recommend:

Rawtherapee is basically a free alternative to Adobe Lightroom (Soft editing and light adjustments): http://rawtherapee.com

Krita is a more robust painting program: https://krita.org

And GIMP is the free alternative to Photoshop (Hard editing): https://www.gimp.org

You can find guides on youtube on how to use them as they are pretty popular, if you get fed up with onedrive there is also Dropbox and Google Drive as alternatives...
