I can't direct my downloads: the browser defaults them to a temp file and then I can't find them

When I ask for a download, I get a choice of "open" or "save." I sometimes need to save rather than opening and saving, e.g., when I am downloading an "exe" file. When I chose "save," My old Yahoo browser gave me a dialogue box asking me where I wanted the download saved, e.g. to Desktop. My Mozilla browser, however, does not give me such a box but instead just begins saving. I believe it saves the download to a "temp" file which I then cannot locate and copy to the proper location.

1. In the Downloads window, right-click a file and select Open Containing Folder to see where that particular download was saved.

2. Tools > Options > General - in the middle of that window is where preferences for Downloads can be viewed and set
