x/y problem? :) Here's how to both set a default download location *and* get a download location choice every time you download. The toolbar is hidden by default, you can enable it by clicking on the "Open Menu" button (three horizonal bars - top-right corner) -> then down the bottom-left of the new screen click on the "Show/Hide Toobars" button -> Select "Toolbar", followed by clicking on the green "Exit Customize" button (bottom-right). Or use the hot keys shown in [] below. Open the "Edit" drop-down menu [Alt+e] and select "Preferences" [n] In the Iceweasel Preferences dialog select the "General" tab (top-left) Under the "Downloads" section (half-way down) Select "Save files to" [v] and click on the "Browse" button [o] (by default that's set to Downloads - but I'm not certain). Navigate to where you want the *default* download location to be and select it. Back in the Preferences dialog select "Always ask me where to save files" [a]. Done. Now when you download with Iceweasel you'll be asked where you want to save files - and the default location will be offered, either accept that location - or browse to the location of your choice. > > I tried the hack suggested in > https://scottlinux.com/2013/07/23/enable-kde-style-for-iceweasel-and-other-gtk-apps-in-debian/ > .
