There were such add-ons available before Quantum came out. As to whether such add-ons are available for Quantum . . . . . .
Go to the Mozilla Add-ons Web Page {web Link} (There’s a lot of good stuff here) and search for what you want.

Thanks for prompt response but I did not find any Add-on to do this. "can you please help me with where the firefox storing the download path in it's directory For example if set download directory as C:\sam it will store this value to remember this setting right? That path I needed', So that I can modify that using any script."

Is this what you wanted to know? browser.download.dir
One thing you can try is to create a Windows batch program to
create a folder with the current date as its name, and move all
files from the download directory to the new one.
