Feature to use last save directory by site is gone?
In previous versions of Firefox it remembered my save directories based on the site I was downloading from, which worked excellent, but it seems it's no longer doing that now. After some research the function in about:config was called "browser.download.lastDir.savePerSite" but is no longer present in my current version of Firefox, only "browser.download.lastDir". Is there any way to get this functionality back? as it's very annoying to have to navigate to a different directory every time I download something from a different site.

In current Firefox releases the last used directory for the website (host) serving the file for download will be preselected in the file picker.
If no download directory for the current website (host) has been stored, browser.download.lastDir will be used.
You can disable this feature to remember a host based download directory by creating a new Boolean pref on the about:config page with the name browser.download.lastDir.savePerSite pref and set its value to false.
You can open the about:config page via the location bar

The wording of your answer was confusing, but I did learn that you can manually add it from that. I've added the line and set it to true and it seems to be saving in a specific directory by site again! Thanks so much!
