Any way to change the default downloads folder?
 
This is bugging the heck out of me.

Right now, everything I download with the N9's built-in web browser (don't really like any of the third party ones) gets saved to /home/user/MyDocs/.downloads, a folder which is hidden. This makes it difficult to get to my files in filebox or on my computer (I don't want to show hidden files because then everything looks messy).

Is there any way to change what folder the web browser saves stuff to? I can't use symbolic links because myDocs is a fat32 partition. I've tried setting up a bindmount (Itsnotabigtruck's suggestion) by adding...
Code:

/home/user/MyDocs/.downloads /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads none rw,bind 0 0
...to /etc/fstab, but that doesn't seem to do anything...

There's got to be SOME way to do it... does anyone have a suggestion?
