I'm perfectly aware of the issue, and wouldnt really know where to document the workarounds, but i'm pretty sure this isnt supposed to work in localized environments, even if the XDG stuff is properly setupped there's https://github.com/openbsd/ports/blob/master/www/mozilla-firefox/patches/patch-toolkit_components_downloads_DownloadIntegration_sys_mjs to make sure we end up in ~/Downloads. Cf https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1696958 for the rationale at the time.. so even if you have a localized environment, that patch should make sure that your downloads end up in ~/Downloads (if it exists, which is another problem with pledge). Granted, maybe that's not what user wants, and i'm fine dropping that patch as long as users having opted-in for localization are aware one way or the other that they **have** to modify the unveil config.

Not a bad idea, but sadly in my experience users often ignore MESSAGEs :) Landry
