Firefox 38.0.5 does not honor the "ask me every time" download location.
I have been using and loving FF for many years.
In Tools | Options I have selected: Always ask me where to save files.
But Firefox ignores that and saves it is the usual User directory.
Interestingly, I noticed another unresolved post on this forum that is just the opposite. Someone has checked-off a location to download to every time but FF asks for a location on every download.

You can rename (or delete) the content-prefs.sqlite file to content-prefs.sqlite.old in the Firefox profile folder to reset all website specific data.
You can disable the 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 use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
- Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
