firefox 100.0.2
I set up a temp dir in about:config
browser.cache.disk.parent_directory /data/Firefox_temp
At no point did I see any activity there but if I empty that directory then FF creates it on launch, so it knows about it.
Here is what I do:
Open the URL
http://www.gnu.org/software/gzip/manual/
Click on
PDF file (304K bytes)
A popup asks "What should Firefox do with this file?"
- I have "always ask" set for this file type in Settings/General/Applications
at this point I see a new file in my home directory
-rw------- 1 eyal eyal 308839 May 14 17:33 _qBdbX0t.pdf.part
I now select
Open with xpdf
and click
OK
The above random file disappeared and another file appears
-rw-r--r-- 1 eyal eyal 308839 May 14 17:33 gzip.pdf
I now close firefox and this file remains.
I restart FF and it is still there.
On another machine the file is created in ~/Download.
How do I get FF to use the nominated directory?
