Announcing the Open/Save as/Save and Delete prompts for downloads!
There is absolutely an extra click after this change.
Before: Click link > Change folder if needed > Save
Now: Click link > Click Save As > Change folder if needed > Save
Additionally that extra click happens at the bottom of the screen (whereas the file browse dialog appears in the middle of the screen), so that extra click is probably far from where your mouse cursor was.

Thanks for the team's work on this, but I have to agree with the other poster this has just slowed down my workflow a lot!
Expected behavior: With the "always ask me where to save.." option when I download something I am prompted with a Windows Explorer window to select the download location. I also have a one click option to save in default location (remembered per website).
Actual behavior: Takes an extra unnecessary button click to download the file and an extra unnecessary click to save the file to default location.
This is especially annoying when saving multiple files from websites that I want to rename before saving.
I agree with Reverend EvvL X, azuravian, acho90 , IshaiH Please consider reverting to the previous popup or having an extra option "bypass extra download prompt before showing save as window"
Created an account to post this because this is the first major change that is annoying enough that I would switch back to Chrome if it's not reverted.
Thank you.
