How do you change the default download location? I've already gone to the about:config and changed browser.download.folderlist to 2 and added browser.download.dir with the string value of my SD card, but this doesn't change the download location.

Try in this Step by Step way


1. Create the Donwload Folder on the external SD card: 

 /mnt/extSdCard/Download ( =  /storage/extSdCard/Download)

2. Type about:config in URL

Create the String value variable browser.download.dir and assign the value of the folder on step 1. It is very important to use the proper caps, so check your folder name and put it here correctly.

3. Modify the variable browser.download.foldelist and set it to 2.

Close Firefox and close it from background also.
