When opening a file for an external application to handle
(i.e. a pdf file to be opened in preview) instead of saving the file a temp
directory (as is done is the linux version of firefox), the file is saved to the
Desktop to be opened. There is no option (that I can find) to change this behavior.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click on a ".pdf" file link
2.
3.



This happens in every Firefox build I have tried, including the Firefox 3 betas
