Downloads are not saving to the designated "Downloads" folder in My Documents.

Instead, they are saving to C:\Documents and Settings\{username}\Local Settings\Temp.

Tools/Options setting is pointed at Downloads, but the files just aren't saving there.

It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files.
Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.

See "Disable virus scanning in Firefox preferences - Windows"
