The Download Dialog that is in Seamonkey 1.1.14 has less functionality than the Download Dialog in 1.1.13.

The functionality of the Download Dialog in 1.1.13 has the ability to add shortcuts to download directories and other features that are missing in the new version of 1.1.14.  I currently have 12 shortcut directories in use in Seamonkey 1.1.13. The Download Dialog of 1.1.13 is much better that 1.1.14 and a much better choice to use.

I put this as an enhancement but to me the change in the Dialog Download between 1.1.13 and 1.1.14 is a degradation in functionality.  For what I download on an almost daily basis I have switched back to 1.1.13.  Since this is really a loss of functionality the Severity should probably be flagged as a more serious problem.  Reducing real functionality is not good.

Somehow the GTK 1 (?) version of 1.1.14 appears to installed instead of the official build.  I re-downloaded the 1.1.14 and reinstalled it and the expected download dialog functionality was present and usable.
