where downloads go

Suddenly Firefox is downloading my downloads to google drive. Why? I want them in my download directory, but changing the options in Settings/General/Download makes no difference. It is set to ask where a file should go, but does not. It is set to ask whether to open or save a file and it does not!

How can I get google drive out of this and save them to my desktop again?

You need to check your google drive settings Firefox can't change Google Drive settings. Otherwise you can check your Firefox settings downloads.
