Details

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050414 Firefox/1.0.3 Build Identifier: Mozilla Thunderbird 1.0.2 (Macintosh/20050317) The Windows version of Thunderbird saves double-clicked attachments to a Temp folder before opening them. The Macintosh version, instead, saves them to the Desktop. This creates a mess of files to clean up afterwards and is inconsistant with the other platform builds. The Macintosh version should save double-clicked attachments to /tmp as the Linux build does. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Double-click attachment in received message. 2. 3. Actual Results: Attachment was saved to the Desktop and then opened. Expected Results: Attachment should be saved to /tmp and then opened.
