If you have further suggestions or other issues, let me know so I can update the post.ДЎ) Sometimes it's because necessary changes to pay down code debt or make things more secure (retiring some of the old APIs) are unpopular and the backlash encourages a sort of siege mentality at its worstДў) Sometimes it's because for whatever reason there's a disconnect between the goals 'win a larger share of the market' (which many devs seem to read as 'make this more like Chrome') and 'keep the share of users that like FF because it is not Chrome' (which some devs probably see as a ban on innovating) These are the problems and fixes I gathered.

Set the download directory to the temp folder in Settings -> General -> Files and Applications and set the option to 'Always ask where to save file'. Keep in mind this option will likely be removed in the future and as such is not officially recommended ( Source), but it currently works. In about:config set _to_download_panel to false. The new behavior clutters the download folder with a lot of files if you use the 'Open' option a lot. Previously, files you selected to just 'Open' instead of 'Download' were saved in the OS Temp Folder, which was either cleared automatically upon reboot on some OSes or FF deleted the temporal files with a job or never saved to disk at all for systems using ram as tmp folder. Changing only the about config will only make it ask for new file types Problem #3: Files you select to just open instead of save are saved in the Downloads folder instead of the Temp folder Note that when upgrading to Firefox 98, all your settings for what to do with file types will be changed to 'Open', so you will still need to do the steps in Solution #1 to reverse it. You will have to individually change all of the file actions to Always Ask Set all files to always ask in Settings -> General -> Files and Applications -> Applications Upon updating to Firefox 98 the default options for what to do with files are changed to download everything by default. Problem #2: Firefox no longer asks what to do for each file by default Probably won't help a lot of people, but it's an option. If you don't need to view it you can remove the download icon from the navigation bar. This config seems like it's going to be supported by Firefox and there's even discussion of adding the option in the Settings UI ( Source) Problem #1: Download panel automatically opens when finishing a download This is the official support page for these issues, however I did not find it helpful nor complete. I created this thread gathering all issues and fixes I have found from members, so that perhaps it can be used as reference for users having these issues.
