It's unclear what is meant here, closing unless the reporter comes back with more info like:

* which exact part of the UI is affected? Firefox may have changed in the meantime
* what are you trying to do here, why is this useful?

On thinking about it I think the confusing part might be that at the very first step it should be ensured that in about:preferences#general the setting to always ask where a file should be stored is activated. But then it should not be that unclear: Just download any file and once Firefox asks where to store it you can't select much text of the appearing download dialog. But for example being able to select the source URL to copy it seems very useful here.
