Folder created when i download files

more options

Hi, i have this situation that whenever i download something from firefox, anything a song, document, video, whatever at the time of selecting where i want it to be downloaded, a folder that i once created and deleted is re-created without my permission. This only happens in firefox by the way, and i happened to see in the firefox preferences in the section where you can select the folder where all downloads are going to automatically be stored, as example C:Downloads the most common example without asking for confirmation, or the other option says "Ask every time where to save files" i have that option checked, but in the other option there is the path of that folder that is magically created after downloading something. So here goes my question: Can i prevent firefox from creating that folder? If i delete it, everything works fine until i decide to download something else in a folder that i want, that folder is just created again. Its not a big deal since is empty, but is there a way of this not happening anymore? Ill provide capture of the config section i'm talking about. Thanks and sorry if you can't understand me well, i'm not english native speaker.

Hola, Este es el foro de ayuda en Español, no me quedo claro si el problema es que el Firefox no elije siempre la carpeta configurada como descarga (es algo que se puede cambiar) o el Firefox crea carpetas por si solo (algo muy extraño creo que nunca lo vi) para las descargas Saludos
