Fix an issue with the Firefox download folder location
Authored by: Utaro on Wed, Jul 2 2008 at 12:07PM PDT

I fixed it! Firefox wasn't trying to download to my old user, it was trying to download to a folder in my new user folder (they both have the same name) that didn't exist. I made the folder, then set my permission to read and write, and it seems to be working!
