I would follow the code found on this blog

Something like:

profile = webdriver.FirefoxProfile()

profile.set_preference("browser.download.folderList",2)
profile.set_preference("browser.download.manager.showWhenStarting",False)
profile.set_preference("browser.download.dir",getcwd())
profile.set_preference("browser.helperApps.neverAsk.saveToDisk","text/csv")

browser = webdriver.Firefox(firefox_profile=profile)

Hope that helps.
