WorksForMe, MozillaFirebird-0.6/Mac OS X 10.2.6.  With a fresh ~/Library/Phoenix
folder, the default download settings are:

(*) Ask me where to save every file
( ) Save all files to this folder: [     ] (Browse)

The folder name is empty, as it should be.  I can't get junk to appear there.

Disregard comment 2.  I've reproduced the bug, but it seems that it doesn't
occur every time.

WFM in build 20030827 [ (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.5b)
Gecko/20030827 Mozilla Firebird/0.6.1+/jtalkington-nightly ]. Download location
appears appropriately in the Preferences.

Yeah, looks like download prefs have changed entirely and this bug should
probably be resolved as fix now. WFM 20031019 Firebird/0.7+.

Granted, there's another bug with download folder preferences (bug 221879), but
it's a new problem.
