Under about:config, my browser.download.lastDir keeps changing to C:\ from C:\Users\MyUsername\Downloads.
When I try to "Save Image As" a picture, it keeps trying to save it to C:\ as the default. I have set it multiple times to C:\Users\MyUsername\Downloads. Every time I close and reopen Firefox, the browser.download.lastDir setting is changed to C:\ again.
Default saved setting is C:\Users\MyUsername\Downloads It seems like having the option to clear my browsing/download history changes this.
Simply closing and opening Firefox will not reset this for me. However, if I save a picture, then close and reopen Firefox, the lastDir gets changed.

I'm guessing that it has something to do with the user.js file or about:config page. It might be changing the default save location after you are save something. Did you try resetting Firefox? That should solve your problem.
Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings
Try this before and after resetting: In about:config - Set the value of browser. download. defaultFolder to the path you want the files to be saved in (C:\Users\MyUsername\Downloads).
If the problem still persists after doing a Reset and changing the browser. download. defaultFolder value, can you please put up a screenshot of the following values from the about:config page before and after this happens?
- browser. download. defaultFolder
- browser. download. dir
- browser. download. downloadDir
- browser. download. folderList
That might help us to dig deeper in the problem.
Cheers!
