Where Firefox saves files


The Mozilla Firefox browser has a built-inloader, with which you can download files from the network. To manage downloads, advanced users usually change their browser settings. Beginners often leave all the options by default. Downloading this occurs in a predefined directory that is not displayed anywhere, so it's unclear where Firefox saves the files.
