When downloading a file located in Firefox, it ALWAYS copies the file to C:\Users\"my user name"\Downloads. I want to program Firefox so that all such downloads go to a folder that I created for this purpose. Is this possible?

I am running Windows 7 and Firefox 4.0.1. My goal is to set Firefox so that all downloaded files get copies to any folder rather than being forced to copy them to C:\Users\"my user name"\Downloads.
