Firefox how to change the suggested save path for files?

This is not about the standard save settings, I do NOT need it to automatically store everything in one folder, so the settings are set to " Always prompt to save files ". The problem is that when he asks this question, he offers some kind of saving path, and this path is always different, as if he selects a random folder on the disk, based on some unknown principle. I would like to make it always suggest the last path the previous save was in. It seems to me that there should be a similar setting somewhere in the configs.

I read in the help that it has the "last dir save per site" principle, but nothing like that, it offers different save folders from the same site! I download a backup, an archive of three parts from the mail.ru cloud, each part offers to save to different folders.

I download a backup, an archive of three parts from the mail.ru cloud, each part offers to save to different folders

Most likely this is due to the fact that in reality the file is not loaded from the public URL of the cloud (page), but the first part is loaded from an address like host100500.alisher.yachta.mail.ru, the second - from an address host2018.tfoo.na.tebya.mail.ru, etc. Previously, you could download files from those servers (hosts) and the browser remembered where you saved them.
What is the state of your parameter now browser.download.lastDir.savePerSite?
Does he even exist? Is it of type Boolean?
Please note that this parameter does not exist by default, and the setting is set to true. You need to go to about:config, right-click, select New -> Boolean from the menu (I don’t know how in Russified), insert the parameter name above, and then set its value to false.
