may be you can try like this on firefox:

profile = Selenium::WebDriver::Firefox::Profile.new

profile['browser.download.dir'] = "/tmp/webdriver-downloads"

profile['browser.download.folderList'] = 2

profile['browser.helperApps.neverAsk.saveToDisk'] = "application/pdf"

b = Watir::Browser.new :firefox, :profile => profile

Safari has a preference for it in ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist:

defaults read com.apple.Safari DownloadsPath

You can also change it by modifying the property list, but the changes aren't applied until Safari is reopened.

defaults write com.apple.Safari DownloadsPath "~/Desktop"
