Firefox download DUPE to C:\windows

more options

Ok.. I start downloading a file to D:... For some reason a DUPE is made in c:\windows\somewhere.. When i pause the DL this copy is deleted but the actual download to D: is still there.. This is eating up my C: space as i got only 1.5 GB left and everytime i download i need to pause the DLs so Firefox dont eat up my C: partition. How do i fix this? I dont want Firefox to make a copy of my download to c: while downloading.

Its disabled and i think it was like this before i installed the plugin. DownThemAll! is the plugin.
