Change default screenshot save location

I do not want screenshots automatically saved to "Downloads" but to a folder of my choice. This is not to be confused with saving files, etc. My question is specifically about the "Take a Screenshot" option in Firefox.

The Firefox Screenshots features are implemented through an extension, and the "to do" list for the extension does include a request to allow users to choose a different download folder:

However, it seems to be on the back burner. With 313 "open" issues I don't know how soon anyone will be changing this!

If you could use an alternative extension that does one-click, full page screenshots, with no sharing or selected text options, take a look at:
