I have change to default folder for "save file to..." to other folder.

(Tools --> options --> general --> Save files to)
The default is "Downloads" and I have change it to other folder.

Then I delete the "Downloads" folder that Firefox have create.

The download is normal, it download to my new setting folder.

But when you click Tools--> options --> general
You do not change anything, but press OK.
You will find that Firefox create the empty default folder "Downloads" again.

Click Tools--> options --> general --> OK
Then that folder is created again!!

I don't need that folder, I use the other.
I am boring to delete it everytime.
