Before, when i downloaded via utorrent i always got an option - where i wanted to save my files. Now it goes directly to my download folder. I dont want that. I have tried to change the option in tools settings to "choose folder for downloads, but that does change anything.

Can you change this setting in Tools > Options > Applications ?

You can rename (or delete) the mimeTypes.rdf file in the Firefox profile folder to reset all file actions.
