When the user changes location of the Desktop in the Windows, the Firefox still
downloads files to the old (wrong) dir.

"C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\username\Desktop" and not some symbolic such as %DESKTOP%

Firefox should every time load location of the user desktop from the system
settings and not use remeber values.

What version of Firefox are you using? Bug 228977 looks like what you're seeing,
but that was fixed a long time ago...
