hello, if you want to disable that functionality, enter about:config into the firefox location bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & right-click somewhere in that page. then create a new boolean preference named browser.download.lastDir.savePerSite and its value set to false.

Thank you, I was expecting it to already exist. Silly me :)
