Win7 64bit no save to desktop option
Not sure on how to word this....
But when I download a file, I do not get any option to save to desktop/c or anything specific.

I have a huge file I downloaded today that needed to save to my desktop, but didn't.

So how can I get that to my desktop? Please tell me I don't have to reload it as I'm on limited bandwidth with Wildblue satellite!!

Thanks!

Default download location is a folder named Downloads in your personal folders (with My Documents, My Music, etc...) Firefox downloads stuff to there. Usually you it is not completely necessary to download to the desktop. It is usually recommended so it is easy to find but it is not always completely necessary.
