About this extension
*** Attention: This extension is not maintained anymore. ***

(But contributions are still welcome! https://github.com/edjroot/webext-save-to-folder)

But don't be sad! There's an awesome extension that does the same and much more! Go check it out: https://github.com/gyng/save-in/

Whatever you read below may have out-of-date info since the time I wrote this.



**NOTE**: For security reasons, Firefox doesn't allow extensions to do certain things, such as choosing arbitrary download locations or disabling the "save as" dialog. But you can do it! I believe in you! Just read on.

How to use, step-by-step:
1. In the extension's settings page, set up a list of folders. These will appear on your context menu so you can download stuff directly to them.
2... Uhh, that's it.

** FAQ **

* How do I download to locations outside the default downloads folder?
You just need to set up symlinks (for more info, just head to the settings page after you install the extension).

* How do I get rid of the "save as" dialog?
Just head to your browser's preferences and disable this feature.

* I find this extension so outrageously stupid. What should I do?
