Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-GB; rv:1.9.0.5) Gecko/2008120121 Firefox/3.0.5
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-GB; rv:1.9.0.5) Gecko/2008120121 Firefox/3.0.5

Printing to file for some reason still remembers an old output directory,
and it's not changed even if I select another one with the print to file window.

I don't know where the old dir is taken from, at least I didn't find it in about:config.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

If you're still seeing this bug, try searching about:config for "print_to_filename" -- the default path should be stored under that name (associated with some printer name).
