Javascript cannot do this by default. It is (very) maybe possible with
extremely lowered security settings. But then, how could you know
which directories exist on the visiting client ? You seem to be
interested in Firefox only. My best bet, except dissuading from your
plan, would be https://addons.mozilla.org/ .
Hope this helps,

If you make the file download available as a link on the page, your
users can always right-click and choose "Save file as..." rather than
simply clicking and getting the default behavior. Perhaps this is a
user-education thing, putting some instructions next to the link, etc.
FWIW...

Hello,
I have a web site that has an audio file on it that I make available for
download. Right now I'm using the "right-click/save-as" approach. This is
because left-clicking the link to the audio file initiates client-side
streaming/playing of the audio file. Is there a way with Javascript to make
a left-click trigger a download of the file instead?
BTW, I don't want to have convert the mp3 file to winzip to make this
happen,...

How do I force a browser to download a file instead of displaying it? In
other words I have a page with MP3 and WMA files on it and I would like for
the visitor to download the file instead of play it without having to
right-click and save.
How can I force the browser to pop up the "save file as" dialog box instead
of playing it? I know that I can encapsulate it in a zip file which will
download and open WinZip.
Thanks

Does anybody have a Download Dialog written in JavaScripts? This is for a
website. I've seen it done before.... where you click on what you want and
the dialog comes up asking you if you want to save it. From what I can
tell, the name of the file is passed as a parameter of the JavaScript.
Below is an example of what somebody (who I don't know) has done:
