I have Windows XP Prof SP3.
I have IE, Firefox, Opera and Pale Moon Portable.
I have a common Download destination Directory "C:\Download" where all my downloads are saved.
In the Options > General >
> Save Files to I have tweaked "C:\Download" as download destination for all downloads.
> then I have clicked "Always ask me where to save files".
In other browsers including FF, once I download a file into "C:\Download", this directory stays active directory for all subsequent downloads, until I change destination.
Pale Moon Portable it has one directory "C:\Program Files\Pale Moon\Downloads". When I download a file in "C:\Download", it should stay active directory for all subsequent downloads. But my last downloaded directory does not stay active. Every time I download a file I have to manually change destination directory from "C:\Program Files\Pale Moon\Downloads" to "C:\Download".
Is there any add on or tweak to remember last destination directory for downloads ?

Re: Download directory
This is by design. The portable is designed to be run from a removable medium and therefore resets the download path upon start-up to prevent having a non-existing path set when the browser is moved to a different system.
That being said, you can change this behavior:
That being said, you can change this behavior:
- Open Palemoon-Portable.ini in notepad or your favorite editor.
- Find the following code:
Code: Select all
;(download directory) browser.download.lastDir=$Download$|\\" - Comment out the second line with a semicolon at the start:
Code: Select all
;(download directory) ;browser.download.lastDir=$Download$|\\" - Save the file as user.ini in the same folder

Re: Download directory
Moonchild Sir,
Thank you and it works.
As an aside, for a regular installation on your hard disk in C:\Program Files\ with desktop integration and desktop browser behavior, the portable version is not recommended because it has multiple settings (including this one) that are specific for mobile use.
I use portable version for I have four computers and I keep them synchronized for all settings Sir.
Also I must say, Pale Moon is much better than parent Firefox.
Best of luck Sir.
