Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:43.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/43.0 Build ID: 20151218164250 Steps to reproduce: When downloading something Firefox apparently creates /tmp/mozilla_mozillaUser0 When this already exists (for example from a previous Firefox process from a different Linux user account) all Downloads fail immediately (presumably because Firefox can't write to it). Actual results: Downloads fail. They start but show "failed" immediately. Expected results: Downloads should work. Alternatively: Firefox should fall back to a different temporary directory. There should be a proper error message.
