Super annoyingly Librewolf (and Firefox) create a Downloads dirbeven if you have another location specified for downloads, there is no way to stop it.It does not appear till u close librewolf (like a bird shitting on you as it flies away)I have done a script (called librewolf, earlier in the PATH than the real executable) to remove the kibble from my home dir:#!/usr/bin/mksh/usr/bin/librewolf && waitsleep 1 && waitrm -rf Downloads

@brettm@swarm.coiloptic.org why does my browser think it knows better than me when it comes to the location of downloads? when even let me choose a location if it's just going to automatically re-create the default folder forever?this is probably a bug, honestly it's stupid enough that I might just fix it myself later, assuming the project isn't going to argue for dumb reasons about it smh

@prettygood@socially.drinkingatmy.computer @brettm@swarm.coiloptic.org the software explicitly lets me decide to use an arbitrary location, it should just ignore that my desktop isn't following spec in that case... if I had just slammed "save" and not chosen a specific directory the browser can feel free to create the default one from the xdg desktop specbut like, unless I do that it should fuck off tbh

@froge @brettm I wasn't defending the behavior, just saying its a fight I wouldn't put effort into.
