958591 - "Downloads → Save files to..." does not work.

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: File Handling, defect)

Description

[merfius]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:29.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/29.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20140110040208

Steps to reproduce:

1. On a new profile, Tools → Options → General tab → Downloads → select "Save files to..." → Downloads (it's the default for me).
2. Right-click an image and select "Save Image As", or attempt to download a file from filehippo.com.


Actual results:

A "Save Image" location prompt or "Would you like to save this file?" prompt appears.


Expected results:

If the "Save files to" option is selected, files should be saved to the specified directory (no location prompt should appear).

File should also be saved to the directory if the Action in Tools → Options → Applications is "Save File".

That was wrong...

With latest Aurora, on Win 7 64-bit, if I attempt to download a file from filehippo.com, I don't get any prompts, the file is automatically downloaded to the "Downloads" folder.

On the other hand, I do see the prompt when I try to save the image, but I think that's the expected behavior.

This is expected, it's "Save Image As" and not just "Save Image"
