I have a 80gb ssd as my boot drive, and a 1tb samsung spinpoint for storage.

The current default location for downloads is on also on the ssd. I would like to change this to avoid cluttering it up with junk.

Is there any way I can change the default location that downloads will be written to?

(I do know I can right click on a download, select save as and choose precisely where the downloaded file is written, but I want to change the default location sovi don't gave to bother).
 
I typically use firefox, but thanks.

Forgive my stupidity but I had thought that the way things worked related to windows itself rather than the browser. E.g I believe when windows installed it created a downloads folder in 'my documents'. Therefore I had thought that I was windows itself that was choosing the downloads location.

I presume I should be able to adjust something in firefox to achieve what I want.
