User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040206 Firefox/0.8 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040206 Firefox/0.8 I have removed a Harddisk e.g. E:\, Firefox was configurated to download to the folder "e:\downloads". Now when I downloaded something, it says me that a failure happened.. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Configurate Firefox to have the targetdownloadfolder as d:\downloads 2. change the drive letter, of your HD "d:\" to something else 3. restart your Windows 4. then try to download something to the default folder "Save to disk" That should work... I removed a HD, this removed the drive "e:\", if the above steps, don't give that result @#§ç¦¦, then try instead of first 3 steps, to 1. shut down 2. remove a HD 3. start windows 4. then try to download something to the default folder "Save to disk" Actual Results: A Msgbox poped up, with the Information that it has Failed due to some problem(unspecified!), retry the download..(It is not possible for me to reproduce the problem now,(I would have to restart, and the to rewrite this,:D)) Expected Results: This is not a really a bug(since it has only, to be implemented :D ), but would be nice if checks before saving if that place exists, and if not, then ask where to save.. And ask if that should be the new default place to save at.

When I tried it, it told me there was an error saving the file and I should try saving it somewhere else instead. Reporter is right, it should check that the location exists before starting the download.
Status: UNCONFIRMED → NEW
Ever confirmed: true
Summary: changed driveletters, then downloaded(targetfolder was on that HD), it shows as failure, had to redownload → Auto download does not check if location its downloading to actually exists
