Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:8.0.1) Gecko/20111121 SeaMonkey/2.5 I just now tried a very small test. SeaMonkey did indeed remember where I saved a Web page as a file. However, each Save request uses that saved location. Thus, if I save a Web page and then do a download of a non-HTML file, the Save request will default to wherever I saved the Web page. If I choose to save the non-HTML file elsewhere and then go to save another Web page, the Save request will default to wherever I saved the non-HTML file. That is, there is only one remembered Save location. No matter what kind of Save request SeaMonkey performs, that determines the remembered Save location for all kinds of subsequent Save requests. You can change that behavior. On the menu bar, select [Edit > Preferences]. On the left side of the Preferences window, select [Browser > Downloads]. On the Downloads pane, select the radio button for "Save files to" and select a location. However, ALL Save requests will then use that one location. -- David E. Ross <http://www.rossde.com/>.
