Um, it IS there!

In Firefox, when you download you get at the bottom of the download 
window an Entry that says
"All files downloaded to:"
click on the folder you have assigned, you can change it.

You can also set the folder where you want downloads to go to by default in
~Preferences/Downloads

The confusion here is because the Preferences location is different on 
each platform
Macintosh
Firefox-->Preferences
Windows
Tools-->Options-->Preferences
Linux
Edit-->Preferences
