That's 100% Google's fault. Firefox has no control on over this, Android prevents apps from accessing the full file system now.

There's no need to access the full file system to download to wherever the user wants. In fact the user might not want to use the local file system, but instead a "cloud" storage provider app!

The Storage Access Framework is built precisely for this.
