Comment:

 Because the `.dir` pref is only used based on the value of another pref

 - `browser.download.useDownloadDir` = `false`
- Tor Browser default is false: forces user interaction by always
 asking where to download
 - `browser.download.folderList` = `2`
- 2 = use last used, 1 =  use downloads (default), 0 = use desktop
- **this is the pref you need to also change**
- **this is done for you if you use the UI to set the path**
- about:preferences general > files and application
   * untick always ask where to save
   * set your new path
   * retick always ask where to save
 - `browser.download.dir` = `X:\\what_ever_you_like`

 Worksforme: I set my path via the UI `C:\\Temp` and then rechecked always
 ask where to save, then clicked download (small zip file), and Tor Browser
 went straight to prompting me to save in the correct directory (note: you
 might get a TB prompts about automatically saving downloads, and a FF one
 about opening vs saving: both with options to always remember your
 decision)

 Put this setting in user.js:
 {{{
 user_pref("browser.download.dir", "C:\\Tordownloads");
 }}}
 (or another directory)
 When downloading files, this folder should be selected but it isn't. The
 preference seems to be ignored completely.
