In the passed versions, Firefox could show me the last save directory for a site when I download files.. Since I upgraded to the latest version (57.0). I can't find anymore this behavior. I found somewhere that I can add or modify this entry (browser.download.lastDir.savePerSite) in about:config and put its value to "true". But this didn't work for me.

Is this feature not anymore available in Firefox ? Or am I missing something ?

Check "browser.download.*" config variables, maybe it's just not turned on (55 did break this so that per-site last directory was always on https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1391192 ).

Thanks for your answer.

browser.download.lastDir.savePerSite entry actually did not exist in config variables. I created it and set it to "true". But it is still ignored. I have the latest version I downloaded a week ago.

I have multiple versions of Firefox installed, each with their own unique Profile to keep them totally separate from each other.

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1391192 is worthless as the issue there was a pref that was related to an Add-on > Extension, which is why it was closed as RESOLVED INVALID .

browser.download.lastDir.savePerSite is present in Firefox 56.0.2 and is missing in Firefox 57.

No mention of it being removed or deprecated as of a certain version number. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Preferences/Preference_reference/browser.download.lastDir.savePerSite The Bug requesting that pref be added to Firefox with a target of Firefox 11. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=702748

browser.download.lastDir.savePerSite may have disappeared with a new Downloads API. Just speculation on my part, though. But that 'guess' might be valid due to creating that pref and it not working due to the code supporting that pref not being present. I have tried creating a couple other prefs, that didn't work either, so that doesn't surprise me.
