Hi RenaultXsara, You can change it, but I believe that this is not possible if the phone is not rooted? In about:config look for browser.download.folderList and tap Modify, change it from 1 to 2 (from default always to last used folder). The change should appear after a few seconds. Scroll back up and tap the "Add a New Setting" button, String is the correct type, so OK that. The name of the preference should be browser.download.dir (this stores the last used directory) Reference: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/que.../978679#answer-505258

Firefox Android developers. Please, provide an option to select the default folder for saving files (image, save as pdf, etc) in the internal and/or external storage media. Thanks.
