When I right-click a picture and "save picture as" it defaults to the wrong folder
I want to default to saving pictures to my "Pictures" Folder, but instead it defaults to an obscure folder in my "Documents" folder. How do I change the default? (Windows 10)

The last used directory for the website (host) serving the file for download will be preselected in the file picker. If no download directory for the current website (host) has been stored, browser.download.lastDir will be used. You can disable the feature to remember a host based download directory by creating a new Boolean pref on the about:config page with the name browser.download.lastDir.savePerSite pref and set its value to false.
You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.
You can delete the content-prefs.sqlite file in the Profile Folder to only remove settings stored in this file. That way you keep exceptions stored in permissions.sqlite that would get lost if you clear the "Site Preferences" via Clear Recent History.
You can use this button to go to the current Firefox profile folder:
