You can change your download path using the config page. Follow these steps:

  1. Type about:config in the address bar and tap the go arrow or tap Enter.
  1. In the search box of config page, type down and pause while Firefox filters the list
  1. Scroll down to browser.download.folderList and tap Modify, then change the value from 1 to 2 (meaning: from "default always" to "last used folder"). The change should appear after a few seconds.
  1. Scroll back up and tap the large "+" button to the left of the search box to add a new setting:
  • The name of the preference should be browser.download.dir (this stores the last used directory)
  • On the right side, tap Boolean and in the popup change it to String
  • The value depends on the folder you want. For example: /sdcard/Download
  • Then click Create (if you are too slow, it may clear and you might have to start again)

Hope this will work for you.
