It seems Firefox 7.0.1 is now memorizing the last saved folder on a site-by-site basis.
I guess it's only for users with the option to always ask where to download the files, so if you set Firefox option to always download to your desktop or your download folder then you didn't notice the change.
Previously, Firefox 2 to 6 used a single setting to store the last saved folder path (browser.download.lastDir).
Now this setting is not used anymore, but my add-on is based on this setting.
The result is that my add-on (download content filtering) is not working anymore
Would anyone know a way to disable the site-by-site save path setting and go back to the old single path setting? any setting in about:config?
Here is what I've currently found about this new feature:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Firefox_7_...erience_changes (second line)
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/JavaScript...loadLastDir.jsm
resource://gre/modules/DownloadLastDir.jsm
My problem:
If I want to read and write path for the current URI, ... which URI it's based of? the file's host or the current website's tab URL?
How do I read the current URI? or aURI?
It's really badly documented
I wish there'd be a way to disable this "new super interesting" feature they are forcing on the users.
My add-on is now useless, I can't live without it
