You are missing one line for your setup: profile.setPreference("browser.download.manager.showWhenStarting",false);

Also I would check if the browser.download.dir is not missing proper path to disk (plain"Downloads" might not be enough and you should use full path to disk).

I tried this in my nightwatch.json file

"firefox": {
      "desiredCapabilities": {
        "browserName": "Firefox",
          'moz:firefoxOptions': {
            prefs: {
              'browser.helperApps.neverAsk.saveToDisk': 'image/jpeg;application/binary;application/pdf;text/plain;application/text;text/xml;application/xml;text/html;text/csv;video/mp4'
            },
          }
        
      }
    }

and it helped, although I am still looking if someone can help me out with s similar config for safari
