I would like to know where can I set the function of choosing where I download files to rather than it downloading every file into the same destination (downloads). I would like the browser to ask me where to download the file each time.

Thanks

Go to the orange Firefox tab in the upper left corner of the browser and click to expand. Then choose Options and then choose Options again. The downloads settings are in the General tab.

You can click the Options item in the Firefox menu directly. No need to open the sub menu and click the Options entry in that menu.
