File locations how to keep it from randomly changing?
Look if you check my history here you will see solved....that; it appears is incorrect.
1. I am just seeking to keep the file save location to the location I choose, until I choose to change it. NOT a random rotation of previous sessions, save directories. NOT having to watch for this continuously and stop using the browser out of plain frustration. NOT a complex change of settings in the (registry or ini file) deep inner workings, that does little.
2. Why is it necessary to have this feature as implemented, with the changing directories based off of previous locations?
In coming here again I found that search queries from visits to sites were being offered as an auto-fill option.
Therefore, I have to ask why would 'Japanese Mythology' be a relevant selection in filling a text box in a troubleshooting forum?
And why would you implement such a feature if it has no logical connection other than a 'fillable' text box.

As written above, you need to create a new Boolean pref named browser.download.lastDir.savePerSite and set its value to false.
You can disable the feature to remember a host based download directory by creating a new Boolean pref on the about:config page with the name browser.download.lastDir.savePerSite pref and set its value to false.從原來的回覆中察看解決方案 👍 1

The last used directory for the website (host) serving the file for download will be preselected in the file picker. If no download directory for the current website (host) has been stored, browser.download.lastDir will be used. You can disable the feature to remember a host based download directory by creating a new Boolean pref on the about:config page with the name browser.download.lastDir.savePerSite pref and set its value to false.
You can delete the content-prefs.sqlite file in the Profile Folder to only remove settings stored in this file. That way you keep exceptions stored in permissions.sqlite that would get lost if you clear the "Site Preferences" via Clear Recent History.
You can use this button to go to the current Firefox profile folder:

You marked this answer as the "solution" in that thread. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1153204#answer-950894
In about:config page.
The statement: 'browser.download.lastDir.savePerSite' does not seem to exist,
But 'browser.download.lastDir.' does and that has been set to 'false' since the query.
Would the 'services.sync' profile section have something to do with this, as I am using Google a a search function?
As an example, this statment:
services.sync.prefs.sync.addons.ignoreUserEnabledChanges; true
services.sync.prefs.sync.browser.urlbar.suggest.bookmark; true
Could the overlay of the 'sevices.sync' group of functions cause the random behavior in browser, thus giving this effect where 'suggest' bleeds over into other domains of the profile?
I am not a coder, as you can tell, so if you could be patient it would be great.

DOH!
I apologize, I naturally assumed that I would not be altering the policy/ini file. So upon seeing the responce, made the jump to????
Thank you, it appears to work.
