Browser keeps creating "Downloads" folder with custom one being set

Even though the custom folder for "downloads" has been set firefox keeps creating new one in the home folder. Nothing I've tried to do helped. From the bug reports I see this problem exists in the firefox at least for 15 years! I can't believe it is still not fixed. That's kind of behavior minor enough for the developers to take care of and major enough for the users to give up and switch browsers if it is not fixed. Crazy.
