Still, most users store them in separate folders, so it would be convinient to have Firefox to remember two different paths for those issues. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.

Assuming WONTFIX, no reply in over 2 years, extension solution exists.

First, this is the wrong product/component and secondly it's a decision which has been made by the module owner. Moving over and reopening for now.

This is not only for images or web pages but all different MIME types.

Summary: Locations for saving web pages and images should be separate → When saving files use different local folders depending on MIME type
Thanks, I thought that this shouldn't be wontfix for above reasons. Eventually, even tabbrowsing was a bug that was not fixed for some time and there was an extension for that too :)
