Downloads always ask where to be saved to

There is an option in the Firefox options screen that lets you always save
downloaded files to a particular place, such as the desktop. So, in Firefox 0.8,
you would right-click on a file download, and choose “Save Link to Disk”. The
file would be added to the Download Manager and start downloding without any
further clicking. In Firefox 0.9, even if you have that option checked, it still
pops up a dialog box asking where you want to save the file to. What a waste of
time.

Plus, most servers limit you to two simultaneous downloads. So if I was
downloading multiple files from a site, Firefox 0.8 would stack them all in the
Download Manager and handle everything for me. But now, with Firefox 0.9, the
dialog box for the third file doesn’t even show up until the first two are done.

I would like to see downloads done the old (0.8) way in the next release.

Reproducible: Always
