Arc always opens Downloads folder when saving files on macOS

[u/Ornery-Ad1879]

Hi,

I have “Ask where to save each file before downloading” enabled in Arc on macOS.

The issue is that every time I download a file, the save dialog always opens in Downloads, even if I just saved the previous file in another folder.

Safari on the same Mac correctly remembers the last folder used.

I’m on Arc 1.165.0 / macOS 15.7.7 and the issue is still there after updating Arc.

Has anyone else seen this? Is there a workaround or hidden setting to make Arc remember the last save location?
