Every time I clear history Firefox, it doesn't remember where to save pictures from last time

Every time I clear history, Firefox doesn't remember to save the pictures from last time; instead, it downloads it to the 'download' folder. E.G. I save a picture to folder A. I clear my Firefox history. I want to save another picture, but instead of going to folder A, it goes to the 'download' folder. Note: It used to work in Firefox 3.5.9, but not 3.5.10 or 3.6.4

I am also having the same problem since updating to 3.6.4. My pictures used to save to my picture folder but now instead save on my desktop and i now have to drag my picture to the folder. It's a minor annoyance but i think it should be fixed seeing that this problem didn't exist since this recent update.

Version 3.6.6 also does not remember where I loaded pictures.
