This is definitely an unveil issue. Not an issue though, it's by
design. If you try to download a file both Firefox and Chromium won't
know where to save it. By default, they can read/write to ~/Downloads
like others have said. However, I think I know the issue you are
encountering. I recall at first use it is a bit persnickety, so when
presented with the window so save a file to a location you will see
nothing. However, in the top bar if you type ~/Downloads and hit enter
it will draw you immediately to the Downloads folder, and there you
can hit save.
Also as others have said, Midori and Thunderbird don't have this issue
because neither of them use unveil. It would be really cool if one day
at least Thunderbird did.

I have a problem with both Firefox and Chromium being unable to

function normally however, with both Midori and Thunderbird. I assume
that Firefox and Chromium are experiencing a permissions issue, but
what causes it and how to rectify it is beyond my capabilities as a
new OpenBSD user.
Anyone out there that could help me out?
Thanks in advance.
I have reinstalled the system. It appears to be an issue that depends on
which file manager is used to create the directories within the home
directory. This time (as with my other computer) I used Xfe to create
the directories. Last time, I used PCmanFM and experienced the problem.
Firefox works as expected now. Thanks.
