This is my idea also .... replacing double-backslash by
single-backslash could destroy the pref.js file ...
This is what I have in my pref.js file:
user_pref("browser.download.dir",
"C:\\ADDON\\ADDED\\Mozilla-Suite\\SeaMonkey\\2.0.2");
user_pref("browser.download.lastDir",
"C:\\ALLDATA\\RandoEvasion\\INSCRITS");
If you don't trust it, don't do a global search and replace. Try
it with the one pref you're interested in and see what happens.
If that fixes the problem, you can go back and apply the fix
throughout the file.
To Mark's question: the backslashes are single in about:config.
From what we've seen so far, the download failed for some reason,
that's why the OP can't find the file (it's not there). My chief
suspect at this point is the double backslashes -- if SM tries
to save the file to a nonexistent directory or an invalid path,
it will fail. But then it should throw an error to alert the
user, even if the setting is "don't ask."
I have no expertise in Linux; my remarks refer only to the
Windows installation.
As suggested by others, I looked in about:config and, sure enough,
while looking in prefs.js,I got double slashes, when I looked in
about:config, I got ...
browser.download.lastDir; user set String
C:\Users\Daniel\Downloads
Single slashes ... just doesn't work for downloading SeaMonkey from
the SeaMonkey-Project download page. Other downloads, things work
fine!!
When I click on the "Download Now" Seamonkey 2.49.4 * Windows,
English (35MB) I got a screen with this info: You have chosen to
open: * SeaMonkey Setup 2.49.4.exe which is: JPEG image (39.2MB) from
https://download-installer.cdn.mozilla.net Would you like to save
this file ? [Save File] [Cancel]
Yeap, same here.
when I click on the [save file] button SM show me where he will
download the file.
It's this second screen that I'm not seeing when I D/L SM. Any other
time, I do see this second screen and can select where I want to save
the file.
My options "Preferences" - "Downloads" are: - Open the download
manager - when saving a file: ALWAYS ask me where to save files. -
Download History: Remove download entries- NEVER
Hope this will help you !
These settings are the same for me, Ray!
