Interviewed by CNN on 29/11/2011 04:23, David E. Ross told the world:

No, Dave, Doc Crock is right. Save behavior has changed -- now Seamonkey
(and, I presume but I didn't really test, Firefox) remembers save
directories in a per-site basis. Which, depending on your use patterns,
can be really handy.

For instance, I follow a large number of webcomics, and save the daily
strips for some of them. Previously, I had to manually choose the
appropriate folder for each different strip. Now, Seamonkey knows that,
if the image comes from xkcd.com, it should be saved in the xkcd folder,
while images from girlgenius.com go to the Girl Genius folder. It's
convenient -- for me -- but annoying for Doc Crock, since his usage
pattern is different. (Too bad Seamonkey cannot -- so far -- tell apart
different comics from GoComics.com...)

I suppose there must be some sort of about:config setting to restore
previous behavior, but I haven't seen any reference.
