Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 69938

(Toolkit :: Downloads API, defect)

Description

[Guillaume Coté]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007 Firebird/0.7
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007 Firebird/0.7

When I download a big file, I usally save it to a download disk, but Firebird
first download it to tmp. If tmp is not big enough, it suggest downloading to
another location.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Download a file that is bigger that the tmp filesystem
2.  Save it to a location with enough space
3.  Wait for the download to failed

Actual Results:  
A dialog give a name like /tmp/something.bin and saying to save to another
location, which is useless, whatever the location I used, it is first download
to tmp.

Expected Results:  
The file should be saved where I asked it to be download, since there is enough
space on that disk.

Workaround : using a working tool for the download, I suggest wget.  But that
workaround is for advance user.  I expect firebird to be working for the average
user who don't know what command line means.
