[Tracy Carcione]

Aha!  Thanks Pramit.  I knew the first step, but not the second.

Hi Tracy,

 

Select the downloaded file in the firefox using Ctrl + J and then hit the context menu. 

Select the option that says "Open Containing Folder".

This will open the exact file location with the file already selected. 

Now simply use the copy command Ctrl + C and go to the location where you need to place the file and do Ctrl + V.

 

Hope this helps!

 

Regards,

Pramit

Downloading in Firefox confuses me.  I pick a download link, and, after what seems a reasonable time, I do control-j to open the download folder.  I’m usually downloading a video file, say, an MP4.I see my filename and the words “open containing folder”.

If I hit Enter, it starts to play my file, but I can’t save it from the media player.

If I don’t hit enter, and try to copy the file elsewhere, I can’t do that.  The file doesn’t get selected, no matter what I do.

I often end up copying the original link into Internet Explorer, where I get a notification when my file is done downloading, and where my file ends up as a file, and not a mysterious folder.

Am I doing something wrong in Firefox?
