Downloads default to C:/Downloads even though the tick box "Always ask where to save the file" is ticked
Until a recent update I have been able to select where I want files to download to, but now they only go to one place in Users/Downloads and completely ignore the tick box in settings "Always ask where to save the file" . Does anyone else have this issue? I have tried to reset the settings, etc. to no avail.

You can set browser.download.start_downloads_in_tmp_dir = true on the about:config page to make Firefox use the OS temp folder for downloads you open in an external application.
You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. On the warning page, you can click "Accept the Risk and Continue" to open about:config.
Also make sure that you have selected "always ask..." for all actions.
