Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Toolkit :: Downloads API, defect, P3)

Description

[Brendon]

Steps to reproduce:

In 102.1.0esr (Debian), and with downloads prompts enabled:

1. Attempt to download a file whose:

• size is larger than the free disk space of the destination, and
• name conflicts with that of an existing file.

2. Do not confirm the prompt; wait until the disk is full.

Actual results:

Both the download and conflicting files are deleted.

Expected results:

Only the download file is deleted.

Just in case, here is an fstab entry for a RAM disk to reproduce the issue in. Adjust the size to your liking.

tmpfs /mnt/ramdisk tmpfs size=128M,x-gvfs-show 0 0

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

Just to clarify... are you confirming the prompt once the disk is full? Or cancelling out of the prompt and still both files are deleted?

I stopped at the confirmation prompt, downloads start automatically regardless.

Cancelling it out before the disk is full should be harmless.
