I'm using a moto G6 play, running Android 9, Firefox is my default browser. Permissions include camera microphone and storage (not location or contacts), advanced permission granted for 'modify system settings'. I have installed an SD card, but can't get Firefox to switch to downloading to the SD card. How do I get Firefox to download to the SD card? 

 If I move the Internal storage Downloads folder to the SD card using the 'File' app would that do it? 
 On the SD card I discovered this nesting:

SDcard¹> Android> data²> org.mozilla.firerox> files> 'Download' & 'temp' folders, both empty. This would appear to be the target location. 

 It may not be worth noting that: ¹) a folder set 'DCIM'> 'Camera', created at the SDcard level is in use, and ²) there are many app & function folder sets in 'data' all sub-folders are empty.
 I told you all I think is relevant, I'd appreciate any help I can get. Thank you.

I don't know what happened to the formatting, the sentences that start with "If I move" and "It may not" not only changed fonts but they didn't wrap you have to scroll out to the right to see the whole sentence. I didn't see any problem before I posted, and there's no way for me to edit it. Sorry about that.

Latest Firefox version is completely locked down, no config, no custom anything! FF for Android App doesn't allow move to SD Card... anymore. -_- Control Dictators! Can't believe this is allowed in Freedom loving America! OMG... help us.
