Yes, you got it! (This is the third thread where I'm posting this, it isn't saved as a standard answer yet as far as I know.)
(1) Open a new tab to about:config (type about:config in the Awesomebar and tap the go arrow or tap Enter)
(2) In the search box, type down and tap Enter
(3) Scroll down to browser.download.folderList and tap Modify, then change the value from 1 to 2 (from default always to last used folder). The change should appear after a few seconds.
(3) Scroll back up and tap the "Add a New Setting" button
(A) String is the correct type, so OK that
(B) The name of the preference should be browser.download.dir (this stores the last used directory)
(C) The value depends on the folder you want. For example:
/sdcard/FxDown
If you switch back to your other tab and download something, it should go to the new folder.
Any luck?

Hello amsgh, browser.download.dir and choose your path.
thank you
Um ok that wasn't helpful at all thanks for the specifics like typing "down" first to find foldelist and setting that to 2 and then creating the dir setting. I figured it out but you guys need more descriptive answers.

Yeah that's what I did before and worked. I was just mad about the answer you gave at first because it was same as another post somewhere. I did find a post like yours though and it worked.

amsgh, you can change the solution chosen, otherwise please moderators do that, to have the complete answer in one reply.
