Save In…: Firefox Add-on for Organizing Downloads
Save In… is a Firefox add-on designed for enhancing your download experience. It offers a selection of features such as a context menu for saving media into user-defined directories relative to the default location, dynamic directory naming, rules-based renaming of downloads and an option to save as shortcuts. The WebExtension API restricts saving exclusively into directories close to the default download location, but there's a way around this limitation using Symlinks. Please configure the add-on appropriately before using.

User reviews
I went looking for something like this. The default "save as..." always defaults to the last place I saved something which I too often just hit the enter key on and then go searching for the file. This solves that problem. I'm not using any of the fancy routing/renaming or other features. Just defaulting to Downloads is all I wanted.
