I just need to change the folder where firefox save the files marked with "OPEN WITH" download option. Currently firefox save it in "WINDOWS%TEMP%" folder, and I want to change to "D:\DOWNLOADS". I tried create "browser.cache.disk.directory" key in "about:support", but this change the CACHE files location, not the download cache location. Thanks
