Hi everyone

In case you're using Google Drive frequently in conjunction with Firefox and always wondered about the random download locations (when "always ask" is enabled), I just found the reason for this...

Firefox has a boolean setting "browser.download.lastDir.savePerSite" (not defined by default) that defines whether to remember the download location per site. However, with Google Drive, you will get a random URL serving the file, turning the last known download directory into a useless feature unfortunately.

So, just go into "about:config", and create the above mentioned boolean setting and use "false" as the value. Now you have a "global" last known download location.
