[Bug 330826] Re: Firefox Useability issue

[akgraner]

I think it is both.  Firefox/Mozilla should be preconfigured to put things
in the downloads folder for ease of transition from other OS systems.  SO
why can't both teams fix it together.  Or can it just be reassigned the
package team.

It's a problem on both sides.  There needs to be a downloads folder and
Firefox needs to be pre configured to put downloads there.

Since I am a new user, this is one of the issues that made it confusing to
switch systems.
