Download manager works by automatically downloading to the folder specified in
preferences.
Though, in the page context menu you can start downloading a file using "Save
link as". That action on the menuitem opens up the "Save as" common dialog
enabling the user to specify a different folder for storing downloaded file.
I suggest that a new action be added in the context menu, to directly start
downloading to the default folder, bypassing the "save as" dialog.
