[SOLVED] Firefox Flatpak downloaded files saved in the sandbox folder

Hello,
I'm having an issue with the Firefox Flatpak version I've just installed doing

flatpak install flathub org.mozilla.firefox

The files that I download are saved into the sandbox folder instead of the home Downloads folder. I've checked it with

flatpak enter org.mozilla.firefox /bin/bash

This is the output of

flatpak info --show-permissions org.mozilla.firefox

[Context]
shared=network;ipc;
sockets=x11;wayland;pulseaudio;pcsc;cups;
devices=all;
filesystems=xdg-download;
persistent=.mozilla;

[Session Bus Policy]
org.freedesktop.Notifications=talk
org.freedesktop.FileManager1=talk
org.mozilla.firefox.*=own
org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.firefox.*=own
org.mozilla.firefox_beta.*=own
org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver=talk
org.gtk.vfs.*=talk
org.a11y.Bus=talk
org.gnome.SessionManager=talk

[System Bus Policy]
org.freedesktop.NetworkManager=talk

[Environment]
GTK_PATH=/app/lib/gtkmodules

I’ve seen someone with the exact same problem but no solution posted.

If you need more info feel free to ask.
Thanks in advance.

After some hours investigating, I found that the issue is solved after installing xdg-user-dirs.
