259416 - Default download directory Desktop is misleading

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 241245

(Firefox :: Settings UI, defect)

Description

[Shawn Smout]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040914 Firefox/0.10
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040914 Firefox/0.10

On Linux, when my home directory is specified as the default download directory,
the preferences box still says that the default directory is Desktop.  I'm
running fvwm; I don't even have a desktop on which things can be saved.  This is
misleading and should not say Desktop.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.In download preferences, select "Other" from the drop down box for default
directory, and change it to your home directory.
2.Note that it gives a pathname.
3.Click OK.
4.Go back to download preferences, and note that now it says the default folder
is "Desktop".
5.Download something and note that it is saved in your home directory, which is
probably not the same as your Desktop (if you have a desktop at all).
Actual Results:  
The preferences box says "Desktop" is the default download directory.

Expected Results:  
The preferences box should say "/home/<username>" is the default download directory.

This is the same underlying problem as bug 241245; that bug, however, seems to
have been ignored, and doesn't really get at the fundamental problem directly.
