Lately while doing a 'save image as', it tries to 2nd guess me. I HATE that! Any way to turn this feature off?

Doing the 'save image as' option, it will go back to the previous folder and keep going there for about 5 times before it save the image to the folder I want. Then when I change folders again, it will go back to the previous folder for about 5 more times. Is there any way to turn this feature off? I do not like it at all.

Current Firefox versions remember the download directory based upon the URL, so if the URL changes then the default folder may be chosen if there hasn't been selected a download folder before for that server.

Firefox 11 will have a workaround by providing a pref ( browser.download.lastDir.savePerSite) to disable this feature.
