Disappearing roms

#1
I've tried to download a couple games like Shin Megami Tensei, Knights in the Nightmare and Black Sigil but whenever they finish downloading, the roms just disappear. I've looked on the page as they download and as soon as it's finished, it just goes away. On the download page, the "open containing folder" button is grayed out and I can't click it. I'm using firefox, I've cleared out my cookies beforehand and I've tried to download the games more than once. Please help, I have no idea what's going on.

Try choosing the save option instead of the open option when you start your download. Save it somewhere you can easily find it (your desktop or documents are good choices)

Check to see where the downloads are going before you download it. The default for firefow is a folder called 'downloads'. Just change the destination to desktop.

Incorrect, firefox defaults to the desktop.

If you saved them when you downloaded them you might be able to just type in the game name to search your hard drive.
My downloads default to documents downloads folder using google chrome, when I was doing torrents it defaulted to a different download folder

Well, I have been saving them (they've been autosaving to the downloads folder). I have had the downloads folder open while it's downloading and as soon as it's finished, the RAR just disappears.
