Only thing I want from firefox is to select where I want to download to on mobile.

I have a massive SD card in my device for a fuckin reason.. to download shit to it instead of my sparse internal, built in space.
- I believe you can set browser.download.useDownloadDir in about:config
  
  You can't access about:config in the release version of mobile Firefox. Only in the beta or nightly builds. The beta version is reasonably stable to be fair although it can fluctuate.
  
  About:config doesnt exist in mobile firefox.
- Mull (Firefox privacy fork for mobile) allows an external download manager to be used, would this work?
  
  I discovered mull only about a month ago, but yeah, its great. As close to Librewolf you'll get on mobile. A limited number of extensions work, but my favs are there. Ublock, NoScript, Decentraleyes, Dark Reader, Clear URLs. It also has access to about:config and is available on fdroid. Great mobile fork.
- I just share the download link to my file manager (MiXplorer) and I can pick and choose where the download goes.
  
  It's not exactly what you want and some downloads (with redirects) might not work, but ever since i've used Mix, I use it exclusively to download everything from Firefox.
I just want a sidebar like https://pulsebrowser.app and https://floorp.app have (both are firefox forks)
- sidebery + custom userChrome.css to make it collapse when the mouse leaves the area.
  
  Care to hook me up with that css?
  
  But floorp and pulsebrowser let me have vertical tabs button on the same bar as the sideberry bookmarks which is really nice.
  
  Sidenote: Doesn’t having it collapse when the mouse leaves the area kind of defeat the purpose a bit?
- @nix Aren't sidebars a stock Firefox feature?
  
  I only just switched back to Firefox after many years, and have one open with my bookmarks and tabs all the time now! Although I do use Simple Tab Groups for the latter
