I agree that desktop is a silly choice, but how hard was it to find the entire section labelled as "downloads" in the *only* preferences window Firefox has, and where the first thing it asks is where to download files to? While you're there, or with *any* other browser, you really should go through and configure the entire thing properly. For instance, many browsers come set claiming that you only accept US English (never mind what your locale setttings are for therest of the PC). Then there's settings for how much drive space you waste with the cache (generally far too much), and plenty of other settings that the defaults aren't always such brilliant choices. Mozillas settings are far worse, a whole lot of things spread about all over the place. -- (Currently running FC4, occasionally trying FC5.)
