RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1738574

People

(Reporter: martin.tk, Unassigned)

Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:98.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/98.0

Steps to reproduce:

I clicked on a pdf link to view it in Okular.

Actual results:

The file was saved to my drive

Expected results:

The file should've been put in temporary directory so I don't have to keep track of files I never wanted on my drive and deleting them.
This bug put a tonne of unwanted files on my drive. I never wanted those files and now I have to keep deleting them.

If you want to make it better save the file to the temporary directory and on the download panel add a button to actually save it (move it) to a directory on the drive.

Please don't force users to keep track of files they never intended to download in the first place.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Firefox::File Handling' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.
