Browser is FF Nightly 112.0a, but this is probably a bug in stable FF, too. "Always ask you where to save files" is checked, in preferences. Like title says, the "last download location" is stored, and works for downloading files, and downloading a SINGLE item in Tools\Page Info\Media (Ctrl-I), but if multiple items are selected (in Page Info\Media), folder opened will always default to set location, instead of last download folder.

I fixed the issue by changing the above field to "false" and clearing the default folder stored in "browser.download.lastDir" in about:config. Now, the "save as" window in Page Info, for multiple items, follows the previously-selected target folder, instead of the stuck default folder.

I noticed that a related issue was fixed two years ago, via https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1683244 , but it doesn't seem to be exactly the issue.
