 bar or ctrl-O). The information is persistent and stored by the pref
 `browser.open.lastDir` (which is a hidden pref). ~~I guess you could reset

 doesn't use that pref, but still remembers the location. TB did pick up my
 Firefox's location If someone has access to your PC already, you have
 bigger things to worry about.

 Yeah, this should not be an issue in Private Browsing Mode, see:
