I never used MS Edge exactly for this reason. IE has it right, and you don't?

Hi   slever,

Have you tried this:
Go to the 3-bar menu   >   Options  >   General   >   Downloads    ?

Out of the box, Firefox just uses your download folder. As mentioned by Happy112, you can change that on the Options page.

More info in this article if you're having trouble finding it: Startup, home page, tabs, and download settings.

Success?
