   I tried to download the new beta using the 20101030 beta.  The dialog   
   came up that allowed me to choose between opening and saving the file.   
   I chose to save it.  Then the filename dialog came up.  I first tried   
   selecting the root directory of the default drive, but nothing got   
   saved.  Then I tried simply clicking on OK and letting the download   
   get saved in the default location.  Still nothing got saved.  Then I   
   noticed that the default location is firefox-20101030\downloads, but   
   there is no downloads subdirectory of the firefox-20101030 directory,   
   so I'm wondering why the filename dialog shows it in the first place?   
   Then I chose the firefox-20101030 directory, and the download finally   
   succeeded.  I can understand why the download to the downloads directory   
   failed, because it doesn't exist, though I don't know why the filename   
   dialog showed it in the first place, but I don't understand why the   
   download to the root directory failed.   
      
   I have fuzzy recollections of seeing some discussion along these lines   
   a long time ago.  Is this a known problem?
