[QUOTE="anderson, post: 658520, member: 22343"] After a few more trials and a little more research I discovered it was a Firefox problem. The problem was fixed by restoring some configuration defaults. Here are the steps to the fix in case anyone experiences this similar problem: ***************************************************************** Reset the download folder 1. In the Location bar, type about:config, and press EnterReturn. * The about:config "This might void your warranty!" warning page may appear. Click I'll be careful, I promise!, to continue to the about:config page. 2. In the Filter textbox, enter browser.download. 3. If any of the following preferences have a status of user set, you must reset the value. To reset the value, right-click the preference and select Reset: * browser.download.dir * browser.download.downloadDir * browser.download.folderList * browser.download.lastDir * browser.download.useDownloadDir 4. If desired, you can revert back to your preferred download folder settings through your Firefox Options. ******************************************************************* [/QUOTE]
