okay, i can confirm that it does fetch the download dir name from xdg - in gui,
it still shows "Stažené soubory", but it properly downloads to directory set by
xdg.
that part works correctly. i can raise some ruckus on some lists and try to
convince people that xdg is an evil idea - but that's not firefox's problem.
(and in fact, i like how xdg doesn't get in the way. i removed the downloads
directory and it automatically adjusted and changed to $HOME)
Here, i'd propose not localizing and always using "Downloads" as default.
Somehow i think that people who don't run xdg-enabled desktop environment won't
care about localized directories ;e)
My argument is that xdg was designed to solve the localized directories
problem, it works and firefox plays with it - so when not present, it should
not try to be smart and use a homebrew solution (esp. when the translation in
firefox differs from the xdg one, and especially so when the translated string
contains a space). I don't see a good usecase where you would want the default
be localized and at the same time not want xdg.
and out of curiosity: why is the default now Downloads instead of Desktop?
