When you make changes through Options, it does update some of the preferences in about:config. They ultimately all point to the same settings files.

Could you describe the problem you're having with downloading in more detail? Then we can come back to the settings issue.

The "browser.download.useDownloadDir" pref determines whether to use the default download location, so if you aren't using that location (Always ask me...) then the pref is set to false.

What download setting (location) are you trying to set?
