Details

A default install of Firefox snap points Downloads to:
/home/$username/snap/firefox/common/Downloads

One can change this manually to point to /home/$username/Downloads which is much more expected.

Any chance we can get this changed to /home/$username/Downloads by default?

My guess is it's due to /home/$username/snap/firefox/common/ being where .mozilla and .cache are stored. This works in Chromium snap, but I'm not sure at what level that is handled.

As much as I can tell, we now default to $HOME/Downloads. Can you confirm it is also fixed on your side ?
