    Integrated Free Download Manager into FireFox.
    Verified and allowed Extension to be added to FireFox.
    Also make sure the box “Start downloading without confirmation” is unchecked (as below)

    Then opened FireFox again, navigated to something to download. Clicked on the download button.
    Free Download manager picked up the download and this dialogue box gave a default download location and also the option of choosing wherever I preferred.

    Here I have chosen to Download the file to my D Drive Test Downloads folder, which worked.

      Yep that worked, now if we can figure out a way so i don’t have to confirm the download all the time. I just made sure it was set to D drive and then turned the confirmation off, I’m downloading a file right now we’ll see if it goes to my D drive.

          sssshhhh, no yelling aloud

          The only drawback that I can think of when you uncheck the “start downloading without confirmation” box is that you will have the download dialogue box show everytime you want to download something, but as that dialogue gives you a choice of where to download it’s no biggie. You are correct though, on my install it remembered my download location choice for the next download tried, so I’m guessing you can now select “start downloading without confirmation again” and it will go to your newly chosen download location automatically.

          Glad you got it sorted.

          It really is a pretty ordinary, and huge, download manager though.

          If you are happy now will mark it solved?
