When I download an attachment from my emails, why does it automatically download to my desktop when it opens? I think it all started when I did an update with Firefox? So all the attachments that I opened up all week are on my desktop, and I did not realize it :( I usually click on the arrow on the attachment I open it up in Adobe Reader, then if I want to save it to 

the desktop, I do Save As.

I went to settings tried everything still on the desktop. Please tell me what to change, PLEASE!

It is the latest inspired change. https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/98.0/releasenotes/

Changing a preference mentioned in the following thread may help but, if so, it will only be temporary. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1370494
