I still use AOL for surfing from time to time. Just because of the old times. I must be an AOL member for hundred years now, lol.
To change how Firefox handles downloads go to Tools, Options, Main. There is a radio button that says Ask Me Where To Save Files. Make sure that radio button is chosen and the save file dialog box will pop up when you want to save a file. There is also the option of changing the file save location in the same place but then everything that you download will go to whatever location you put in there.
