I have the download location set to my NAS drive but it continues to save files to the download folder on my macbook pro instead. Why is this?
I am running firefox 68.0.2 on a Macbook Pro running Mojave 10.14.6. It seems like it used to work Ok but now when I click to download a file from a webpage, it downloads to the macbook default download folder instead of the downloads folder on my NAS which is what is specified in preferences.

that is the designated folder for firefox Open Firefox.
Click ☰. It's in the top-right corner of the Firefox window. ... Select "Options" in the drop-down menu. Scroll down to the Files and Applications section. Click Browse. Navigate to where you want to save your downloaded files. Click Select Folder.
I changed the save location for my downloads to a folder on my NAS, it even shows it listed in preferences, the problem is is that is still saves in the local download folder.
Click the menu in the top right corner of the browser.
Click Preferences. Click General. Click Choose... next to Save files to.
so it still goes to default folder, try this delete that folder then select the oneyou want mark it as default?? whatdo you think worth a try i have domne that on my pc no problem
