I don't know of an option to disable it, so for troubleshooting, I 
suggest the following:

    * Open two pages with upload widgets in different tabs or windows.
      Pick a file from each widget in separate folders, then switch back
      and see whether the first widget remembers its folder.
    * Install the Tahoe Data Manager and filter on content preferences
      to see whether the preference is getting saved.
    * Maybe something is deleting the preference (an extension, or Clear
      Private Data).
