So, firefox is still downloading files to that folder even when you select something else? The pref is not being saved? try http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Preferences+are+not+saved?s=preferences%20not%20saved

No it will download the file to the correct folder.  But it will still create the Downloads folder by default.

Example

D:\Download is my new folder i create.

Every time I open firefox then close it. 

It Creates

D:\Downloads (which is the default name folder)

D:\ is also my My Documents location

I should also note.

This started happening when I went from Firefox 3.5.7 to Firefox 3.6.
