HOW TO RESTORE THE DIRECT TRANSFER OF SONGS TO MY MUSIC FOLDER
Desktop with Windows XP, Professional Version and Service Pack 3. Since March 2, 2015, the browser is Firefox with Google. Prior to that I used Firefox Portable Edition. Our public library offers a music download service from a company named Freegal. The process is to click on download on an individual song which produces a popup which I click on Save. This produces a second popup which allows me to transfer the song to a selected folder in MY Music. This routine worked quite well with Firefox Portable Edition. However, after I recently installed Firefox, the second popup which would be used to transfer the song to My Music does not appear and this is the end of the routine with Freegal. Firefox sends the downloaded song to two locations in my computer which are D: My Documents\Downloads and to C: Documents and Settings\Administration\Recent. I have two hard drives in use on this computer because of its limited memory. I then copy and paste the song from D: Documents \ Downloads to the selected folder in My Music. The library has no recent reported problems with Freegal. I am assuming that the recent download of Firefox is its latest edition and I must say that it is a very fast browser. It is more convenient to transfer the song to My Music as was intended by Freegal than the route that I have to use as described above. I would appreciate any comments on why this is happening given that Firefox Portable Edition did not have this problem. Any suggestions on how to restore this function in Freegal would also be appreciated. Thank you for considering this post.

You should have an option to select where downloads go.
- See Startup, home page, tabs, and download settings_downloads
- Use: Firefox button {Three bar icon) -> Preferences -> |General| Downloads () choose a location, or always ask
Sorry I have no knowledge about Freegal. (There is another workaround possible, using another, 2nd, additional profile for music downloads)

It looks like you posted here with Firefox 20.0, which is almost 2 years old - April 2, 2013. Same device with which you are having that problem?
I wrote the post from our public library computer which would explain why it is 2 years old. I am writing this reply from my computer in which Firefox was installed on March 2, 2015. It is version 36.0.1 and is up to date. The solution offered by John99 solved the problem.
