User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:27.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/27.0 (Beta/Release) Build ID: 20140127194636 Steps to reproduce: Since Firefox 27, my downloads no longer go to the download folder I have selected. 1. Set your download folder to root of a drive (I have it set at F:) 2. Download any file from the web Actual Results: downloaded to the default location which is set initially (a folder somewhere) Expected Results: downloaded to the given drive (root) Actual results: The file is downloaded in the default download folder (C:\Users\<user>\Downloads on my case), instead of the selected download location. Expected results: The file should be downloaded at the selected download location.
Please excuse me and ignore the first 'Actual Results' and 'Expected Results' in the description.
