Fix an issue with the Firefox download folder location
Authored by: simonhold on Mar 31, '10 05:21:33PM

Firefox did something similar on my computer. I tried all the above methods, but the problem is persistent. Somehow Firefox or Thunderbrid set my Downloads folder as Read-Only. And I can't change it in the info window (where one normally changes permissions). Repairing permissions using Disk Utility didn't work either.

How can I force the Downloads folder to go back to Read & Write?

When I try to delete a file from it I need to enter my user pw and the reason given in the details is that this is required by com.apple.desktopservices

Any help is appreciated.
