Turn off remembering of download locations

Firefox remembers the last place I saved files from various sites. I need to turn this off. The option "browser.download.lastDir.savePerSite" is set to False but that doesnt change this behavior. Deleting the associated .sqlite file doesnt work either since that only removes existing preferences it doesnt stop new ones from being made.

Is there another option to change or an extension which will force firefox to stop remembering where files were saved? (as in it no longer occurs, the preferences are not even written).

Setting downloads to a specific universal folder wont work either. I need the default download path to remain the same as the last file downloaded no matter what site I download from next.

Since this is a feature that must have been constructively and intentionally added to Firefox (and there was a time where it was not present) then it should be easy to just shut off. So elemental and simple this should be.

Could you double-check that the browser.download.lastDir.savePerSite is a boolean type preference and not a string type preference? If it is a string type preference, right-click Reset it, close about:config, open it up again and create browser.download.lastDir.savePerSite again as a boolean preference.

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 delete the content-prefs.sqlite file in the Profile Folder to only remove settings stored in this file. That way you keep exceptions stored in permissions.sqlite that would get lost if you clear the "Site Preferences" via Clear Recent History.

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.

Thanks for clarifying that, it was set to a "string" and now it works. This is a real time saver!!!
