I wondering from where the installer fetches this directory.  From the 
source
https://projects.kde.org/projects/kdesupport/kdewin-installer/repository/revisions/master/entry/gui/installdirectorypage.cpp#L41
which calls 
https://projects.kde.org/projects/kdesupport/kdewin-installer/repository/revisions/master/entry/shared/settings.cpp#L76 

 From this code the only reason I can see would be if

1. the installer is not able to create %PROGRAMFILES%/kde for example 
because of access rights problems (running on a non admin account) and
2. the current dir is %programfiles%\Mozilla Firefox.

If you downloaded the installer with firefox topic 2. will be imaginable.

Are you able to check if this is the case ?

BTW: to reset the installers setting you may inspect 
%APPDATA%\KDE\installer.ini especially the rootdir entry.
