I have Uppity but it does not seem to add an up button to the save window. Saving to the desired location is difficult without one. Any way to add one there?

I have added an up one level button to the Explorer toolbar, with Classic Shell, and Uppity, to add one to Firefox's main toolbar, but Firefox doesn't seem to use this when saving, and right clicking the Save menu toolbar does not open a customization dialogue, though the folder tree looks similar. As the save dialogues never seem to default to the user profile, it is a pain getting to the right place without the good old up one level button. (Windows 7)

Usually, I find that the great minds out there have found ways to provide most of the adjustments I would like, but I cannot immediately find the answer to this one.

Many thanks if anyone knows of a fix for this.

Windows 7 is strange that way. What I have to do is click the "higher" folder name in the address bar to go up to that level. See attached screen shot. Not sure whether that is a suitable workaround for you, or maybe I'm missing the point of your question.

Regarding where the Save dialog opens to by default, this is a little complicated because Firefox stores the last save location on a site-by-site basis. You can turn that off if it's annoying. This is a very hidden feature, explained more in this thread: How do I disable per-site remembering of download directory? (Note: I haven't tested changing this myself.)

Thanks jscher,

I hadn't thought to click half-way down the address string. That is easier than stripping it back from the end as I was doing. (y)

The config string does not seem to make any difference though. Should I remove the preference 'browser.download.lastDir' string, that seems to hold the record of the last saved to folder, in addition to adding the new preference setting 'browser.download.lastDir.savePerSite' to 'false'?

Cheers.

Hi Spamlet, I think if you clear or reset browser.download.lastDir then Firefox will show whatever folder is designated in the options dialog. But if drill down into another folder, it will remember that going forward.

Resetting it just empties the string completely until the next save, when that becomes the new string. This continues just the same, whether .savePerSite is set at true, false, or left blank.

The options dialogue only sets browser.download.use... which I'm happy to leave at DownloadDir because I mainly use it for temporary storage of program set up files.

i don't understand this behaviour, but it isn't really worth worrying about it, as your work around is quick enough.

Thanks once again, S
