Agree. You see, Gmane vanished somewhere in depth of Internet my first 
SOLVED message with all details. I get upset about it and posted the 
second one short... :-)  Sorry.

The problem was in different user names used under Ubuntu's and Fedora. 
Firefox profiles were fully synchronized between systems. Now, Ubuntu's 
Firefox Download Manager had its download directory set to something like 
home/ubuntu_username/Download.  But Fedora's Firefox Download Manager  
rightfully could not find such a directory, since it was supposed to be 
something like home/fedora_username/Download.

To figure it out took a minute. I just started FF from terminal executing 
[firefox -jsconsole] and then selected Save Page As...  The error message 
was plain clear.

So, I wasted time just following a wrong assumption and looking totally 
in a wrong direction. :-( This is why "silly me".

Now I'm looking for a way to change my user name on Fedora without totaly 
screwing the system and the need to reinstall.
