in the firefox settings i chose the option of saving downloads in desktop instead of always asking me where to save. but, no matter what i do, i always get the save window when i want to download something, the default is always "open with" instead of "save file" and it doesn't allow me to chose the option to repeat the save for the same kind of file from now on. so, every time i download something i have to click in "save file" and "ok", but in the settings i have "save files in desktop", so i don't get it! why can't it be memorized?

You can try "Reset Download Actions": http://kb.mozillazine.org/File_types_and_download_actions

You can also try "Reset all user preferences to Firefox defaults" on the Safe mode start window.
