Looking for an addon that can route downloads to specific folders based on file extension.
I've seen old addons like DownThemAll, but as of Quantum, none of them work. If someone could work to create a small addon that can do what I'm asking, that would be great. I'd do it myself, but I have little to no skill with addon programming and have no time to thoroughly learn all the ins and outs of doing so.

Extensions are restricted in where they can save files on disk. They can write to different subfolders within your Downloads folder, but can't direct Firefox to save a file outside of the Downloads folder.
Extensions can coordinate with a separate program offered by the extension's developer. You may have seen some extensions like that in your searches. The additional program needs to be downloaded and installed separately, and is not reviewed by Mozilla. Using such a "native applications," an extension can access other folders on your system. This is probably necessary to do what you want. Assuming you can find one you trust.

Go to the Mozilla Add-ons Web Page {web Link} (There’s a lot of good stuff here) and search for what you want.
I've been looking, and save image to folder isn't quite what I'm looking for, and download managers don't have the features I want. I am looking for an addon/extension that can sort downloads based on extension (i.e. files with .jar extensions (typically minecraft mods) to my Multimc mods folder, .doc/.docx/etc. to Documents, .jpg/.png to Pictures, you get the drill), with the additional option to sort by keywords as well (so I can send executable .jar files to a different folder).
