How to stop downloads from saving to downloads file automatically
For some reason when I download a race program it automatically saves to a downloaded file. It never used to do this. Most of the time when downloading something it would ask if wanted to save or open. Now it automatically saves. These are not files that I want to keep usually. How or where can I change the download setting. Have not been able to change it under options.

Check your Options setting it most likely got changed or someone changed it from asking where and how to save it.
My options settings have not been changed so I am guessing that something else somewhere has gotten changed with either a Firefox or Microsoft update.
Hi, yes is possible. Please try : uninstall Firefox. Then Delete the Mozilla Firefox Folders in C:\Program Files , C:\Program Files(x86) & C:\ProgramData Then restart system. Then run Windows Disk Cleanup. (Note: This should be Pinned and run Weekly, If never done below expect 10's of gig's) Then run it again and click the button that says Cleanup System Files. Note: your Firefox Profile is saved. But you should make a back up before you do :

Reinstall with Current Release Firefox 59.0 with a Full Version Installer
