Decide where to save downloads from the internet - Mozilla Firefox

Deciding where to save downloads from the internet is important, because you are allowed to save them exactly where you will find them when in need of.

Lets say you have downloaded a list of files, containing pictures, documents, videos, audios, just to have them saved randomly  in just any location the system wishes to save them. It really is annoying having to spend all the time searching for files you didn't take note of the names, it is not easy to find and you know that, just because you did not choose a particular location for the file.

With Mozilla Firefox, you have the right to choose where to save your downloads. With other browsers i have not tried but i think it does same. If you know how to use Mozilla Firefox then your on the safer side because its the most common and most used browser round the world.

Lets get going, so you don't have to spend the whole time searching for files you did not check on the names when downloading. 

1. Click options in the Firefox  Menu Bar.

2. In the general tab witch should be the first tap, select the radio button (Always ask me where to save files)

3. Confirm with OK and your download settings are set and ready. Try downloading a file and you
will be asked where to save in your computer.
You can decide to create several folders that will hold downloaded files according to how you will understand them. Mostly there are already created folders in which you just have to choose to save what corresponds the folder. Some of this folders can be.



In Downloads. (My Documents)


Music
Videos
Programs
Documents


The above default folders corresponds almost all types of files you can download from the internet. 





 A file will only download after you click save.



 wait till the download process is done. Bellow is also an example of locating the downloaded file. 
 
The open containing folder option takes you directly where the downloaded file is saved.
