User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; SunOS i86pc; rv:16.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/16.0 Build ID: 20120920095701 Steps to reproduce: When I open an attachment with TB on Solaris, a temporary file is saved in /tmp and removed when TB is closed. TB on MacOS behaes differently. Actual results: The file is saved on the desktop and never removed from there. This means that one gets multiple copies of the same file when the attachment is opened more than once. Expected results: I prefer the Solaris behavior. If the file is to be saved persistently, this should be done by the user itself. I think this is independent from the version.
OS: Solaris → Mac OS X
Hardware: x86 → PowerPC
Set browser.helperApps.deleteTempFileOnExit to true. It's a mac thing.
