Firefox doesn't use most recently opened folder on YouTube
Over the past couple of weeks, when trying to upload something to YouTube, Firefox no longer opens the most recently used folder. Instead, it always opens the exact same folder. I have tried to find a solution to this and I can't find one. Even removing cookies and site data on YouTube did nothing.
I am genuinely confused and would really appreciate some help.

I have Firefox set to ask me where to save downloads, so it stores last save folders on a per-site basis. It also appears to store upload folders on a per-site basis. I don't know whether it does this with the base configuration of saving automatically rather than prompting where to save.
Note: private windows do not save this information to disk.
If you notice Firefox using per-site logic for uploads, but no longer updating that after each upload, there might be a problem with the database file Firefox uses to store this information, content-prefs.sqlite. This file also stores your per-site zoom levels, so if those aren't saved either, I would definitely suspect a file problem.

Thank you so much. This was very helpful. And you telling me the folder name causing the issue helped me find this question of someone having a similar problem and the "chosen solution" then gave me exactly the answer I was looking for: https://support.mozilla.org/bm/questions/1423091
It's now been resolved. Once again, thank you for your help.
