That might be what Firefox used to do for me, but now it defaults on Open constantly no matter what I've selected last time. I think mine suggests whatever I did last for the same type of content, but I haven't paid close attention. "However, I can't think of a way to have the Open/Save/Cancel dialog always default to Save. The alternative is to always prompt me *where* I want to download my files. This is where I set the download folder location.
Orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > General > "Saves files to" "You can automatically save downloads without seeing the Open/Save/Cancel dialog in the Options: I'd like to change it to the way I had before, or at the very least automatically set all downloads to save into my downloads folder. I'm still prompted for each and every file I download, still preselected to open the file, with the "do this automatically for files like this from now on" still greyed out. (b) changing the action for the content types I do have (.wmv and compressed/zipped folder only) has done absolutely nothing. (a) not all the content types I download are listed, i.e.mov. The help available seems to suggest going into options>Applications and changing the action for the appropriate content type, but: I'd like to be able to select "save it to my computer" and have it do this automatically, but that option is greyed out. As a result, on more than one occasion, I have mistakenly clicked ok and opened huge files automatically after downloading (which has resulted in them popping open even hours later and playing automatically once the download finished). Now every time I download virtually any file type, the prompt comes up with 'open the file' preselected, and "do this automatically for files like this from now on" greyed out. The option "do this automatically for files like this from now on" was useful for the rare file type that I would want to open automatically (usually because it's a very small music file or something). This was fine because I almost never want to open these downloads automatically, and I like all my downloads to go into my downloads folder on a separate drive with much more space (not the temp folder on C:\). Before whenever I downloaded a file, it automatically prompted me if I wanted to open the file or save it to my computer, with saving it to my computer preselected.
