323649 - Impossible to select Home directory for downloaded files, keeps selecting Desktop instead

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 300856

(Firefox :: Settings UI, defect)

Description

[Joona Palaste]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051111 Firefox/1.5
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051111 Firefox/1.5

I don't know if I'm doing this right or wrong, but I seem to be unable to select my home directory (/home/joona on my computer) as the download directory for Mozilla Firefox's download manager. Every time I choose it from the file selector the Mozilla Firefox preferences window shows "Desktop" instead of "Home" or "/home/joona". Selecting any other directory seems to work fine.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to Mozilla Firefox Preferences and choose the tab "Download".
2. Click on "Browse" next to the directory name box.
3. Select your home directory.

Actual Results:  
Mozilla Firefox chose the Desktop directory.

Expected Results:  
Mozilla Firefox should have chosen my home directory.
