14 Firefox forgets where to save downloads

Firefox version: 14.0.1
O/s: Windows XP Edition family version 5.1.2600 Service Pack 3 Build 2600

When I try to record a series of image files on the same site in a destination directory using a right click > Save Image under..., frequently (but at random intervals) Firefox forgets where the record of the previous file.
I can correctly save multiple files in the expected folder, then find that the Save As dialog box has forgotten the target folder. Sometimes, it restores the default download folder, but sometimes, it comes in a folder that I used for downloads (on a different Web site) days. It can then return to a different folder, I also used for downloads (from a third party site), also days ago.
Occasionally, I navigate to the folder target for each of a succession of downloaded files, then Firefox starts to remember where files go - don't forget again, later in the series. This means that I have to pay attention to what makes Firefox and wasting time check which folder he thinks is the target, rather than to focus on the task, I'm in show.
I don't remember meeting this stupid behavior and worse in previous versions of Firefox. So far, I noticed only when you use the right click > Save Image under... but cannot download some he did not appear with other methods.

The current versions of Firefox don't forget not the directory download, based on the URL, so if the URL changes then the default folder can be selected if he has not selected a folder for this server before download.

You can disable this feature to not forget the download via the prefs directory Boolean browser.download.lastDir.savePerSite on the topic: config page.

The pref browser.download.lastDir.savePerSite does not exist by default (it's a hidden pref), you will need to create it.

Create a new pref Boolean with the name browser.download.lastDir.savePerSite and set it to false.

You may need to clear the "Site preferences" via clear recent history to delete already stored data.
