is there a way to change the save directory for firefox?
Any time I save an image it goes to folder: download, however these saved images do not show up in the folder under the androids galleries unless I use a file manager program to search for it on the sd card or I take the sd card out and use it to browse the files on a computer. The system I am using is an HTC Thunderbolt with Android 4.

Hello,
Please follow arenasa's reply in the following support request:

As far as I can tell changing the download folder is not currently officially supported but following those instructions should work for images. Possibly not for other file types.
I hope that helps.

I have it working on my S3. These are the steps I followed:
1. Create the Donwload Folder on the external SD card:
/mnt/extSdCard/Download ( = /storage/extSdCard/Download) 2. On Firefox about:config: Create the String value variable browser.download.dir and assign the value of the folder on step 1. It is very important to use the proper caps, so check your folder name and put it here correctly. 3. Modify the variable browser.download.foldelist and set it to 2.
Close Firefox (Kill the app if necessary ) . and that's it!. It worked for me.
