Make Firefox Use Leopard's Downloads Folder

Leopard introduced a new default location for files downloaded through Safari, the Downloads folder in the home folder. Making Firefox use this same download location is a bit tricky:

1. Delete the file com.apple.internetconfig.plist from Library/Preferences in your home folder.

2. In Firefox, open your preferences, choose the Main tab at the top and click "Choose..." to change the default download location to "/Users/yourusername/Downloads"









3. Restart Firefox.
