Every time I clear history Firefox, it doesn't remember where to save pictures from last time

Every time I clear history, Firefox doesn't remember to save the pictures from last time; instead, it downloads it to the 'download' folder. E.G. I save a picture to folder A. I clear my Firefox history. I want to save another picture, but instead of going to folder A, it goes to the 'download' folder. Note: It used to work in Firefox 3.5.9, but not 3.5.10 or 3.6.4

Come on, surely someone out there has an answer to this?! Suddenly after upgrading Firefox, it no longer remembers my preferred destination folder for saving & defaults to desktop. How do jog it's memory?t

I am also having the same problem since updating to 3.6.4. My pictures used to save to my picture folder but now instead save on my desktop and i now have to drag my picture to the folder. It's a minor annoyance but i think it should be fixed seeing that this problem didn't exist since this recent update.

Version 3.6.6 also does not remember where I loaded pictures.
