Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 265934

(Toolkit :: Downloads API, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

Since Bug 246618 was fixed, similar behaviour to Bug 228977 (with an identical
fix) has appeared in the Download windows.

Specifically, if a user chooses a non-default Windows desktop folder, the
default (C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Desktop) is shown by Firefox
instead. I'm going to attach a patch and nominate for 1.1, since this is really
*really* obvious to anyone who's got a non-default Desktop.

Ben or mconnor would be a better choice for review. Aebrahim isn't a Firefox peer.

Oh damn. I spent a while checking first, but I still didn't find anything
reporting this bug. This needs to be duped against Bug 265934, then.
