    Question Firefox looking to A drive before downloading

    Does anyone have any ideas, except removing it & reinstalling it

    for some weird reason, tonight when I try to download anything, it looks to the A drive 1st, but in the options, ive set my downloads to always go to c:\firefox downloads

    Is there another option?

    removing and reinstalling is a windows solution.

    firefox is a unix program. to reset it to default state, you need to delete your firefox settings profile from your home directory, in most cases c:\documents and settings\username\application data\mozilla\firefox
