How do I control where my firefox downloads go?












4















I am downloading Ubuntu 12.04 from an 11.10 LiveCD, connected to the Internet via tethering to a smartphone. (Please don't ask why...) I have discovered that I have not enough space to download it to my Downloads on the CD. How do I make the download go to my Micro SD card? (Yes, I have it mounted already.)
