I'm an Android user so I'm not sure what the situation is for IOS but, on Android at least, you can't change download location. This is really annoying as I have to constantly move files after downloading. Please fix this.

This is a super basic functionality, please don't abandon our needs.

I had thought this already existed!  Maybe I'm just thinking about Windows.  In any case, a simple change-of-directory-path would do the trick.  We need a way to use the SD card and save space on the internal storage.

Hello it's 2025 and your company is being funded >$500 million per year. Please use 0.01% to allow download location to be changed like any other browser allows you to do

I would also like this feature.

At least a popup that asks me to choose where my download goes.

Unfortunately, after over 3 years of Firefox on android, this feature is still not available. 

Please ignore above "workarounds" as they're things that are just as quickly performed manually each and every time after letting Firefox download wherever it wants. As of June 2025, the closest thing to a working 'workaround' is: 

1. Download an Android browser that is NOT firefox (literally any- I've even used a couple from GitHub that weren't made for anyone other than the creator to use, they ALL have this). 2. Set this new browser as default web browser in Android settings. 3. Go into that browser's in app settings.

Three easy steps, super sad, but there you go.
