Downloads Router is a tiny extension that helps you avoid  cleaning the dreaded "Downloads" folder by automatically saving  files in the right places.

Downloads Router springs into action whenever you start downloading a file. It looks at the filename, filetype, or origin domain (source website) of the item, and matches this information against rules that you define on the extension's Options page. Should a matching rule exist, a "suggestion" is sent to the browser, indicating where it should save the file; this suggestion may however be overridden, as for instance when you use the "Save As..." feature.

The Options page opens automatically after installing the extension, and may thereafter be reached from the chrome://extensions page.            

How to install Downloads Router?

You could download the latest version crx file or older version files and install it.

This is one of the extensions that can prevent me from using Firefox as my main browser since there is no extension that can AUTOMATICALLY route download based on file type in that browser, at least not yet

It still works as advertised, but the instruction is fairly difficult to understand. A casual user like me has to do some trials and errors before eventually understand how to use the extension. Great job, anyway.
