Fix an issue with the Firefox download folder location
Authored by: jayfrombkk on May 28, '09 08:14:43PM

The fix works well with my install of Leopard OSX 10.5.7 and Fifefox 3.0.10 -- one more Migration Assistant problem solved.

After opening com.apple.internetconfig.plist with Property List Editor, I found the entry in the hierarchy at Root > Version 2.5.4 > ic-added > DownloadFolder > ic-data

I got a warning when trying to replace the value with a simple blank. The work around I found was to rename the existing key to ic-data-old then create a new key called ic-data, set the type to Data and leave the value blank. After saving the Plist file Firefox downloaded correctly on the first try.
