Firefox No Longer Remembers the Last Upload Location

[OliverKandir]

After the latest Firefox update, the file upload dialog no longer remembers the last folder I selected when uploading files.

Previously, whenever I clicked to upload a file, Firefox reopened the folder I had used for my previous upload. Now, instead, it opens the folder where I last downloaded a file.

This is inconvenient because my upload and download folders are different. Please restore the previous behavior or provide a setting that allows users to configure the default folder for file uploads independently of the download location.

Yes, I'm getting this problem right now too.

Yes ditto. I used to love this feature but now since the most recent update it's GONE... 

Bring it back Mozilla team1

I have noticed this behavior too, and I agree it can be frustrating when your upload and download folders are different. Having Firefox remember the last folder used for uploads made the process much smoother. It would be great to have this behavior restored, or at least an option to choose a separate default folder for uploads. Hopefully, the Firefox team can look into this in a future update.

totally mind blowing that since 157.0 this issue has appeared. why is it taking so long to fix ?

[Zardas]

Yes. Its freaking annoying.

I do agree as well - especially while this was one of the benefits of FF against chrome.

This is happening to me too and it's driving me crazy. I really wish they would get on fixing this.

@doodlemancy : is this not now fixed in the latest 159.0 release?

Looking at them (https://www.firefox.com/en-US/firefox/159.0/releasenotes/ ) it says:

FIXED     Fixed the file upload dialog opening in the last folder a file was saved to, such as Downloads, instead of the folder last used for uploads.

This issue should now be fixed, as of the 159.0 release

As per the release notes (see: https://www.firefox.com/firefox/159.0/releasenotes/ ) I see:

FIXED     Fixed the file upload dialog opening in the last folder a file was saved to, such as Downloads, instead of the folder last used for uploads.

Please update to the latest Firefox and see if this is still an issue.
