Download asks where I want to put a downloaded file, fine.
It then proceeds to put the file in /tmp.
Now Im downloading a iso image, nominally 600MB.
/tmp has more like 60MB available.
Where I TOLD it to put the file has 3GB.
Net result: it downloads what it can, then runs out of space.
Why not just do what I tell you, and put it where I tell you?????

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.As above
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
A total waste of time

Expected Results:  
It would download the file to WHERE I told it, now I have to find another
program to do the download, Mozilla wont do it.
