Hi,

I've been looking everywhere to cancel the automatic download of files into the "download" folder when I ONLY need to open them for a short usage from a web page . Now I've got to manually wipe out the "download" folder on my computer... very annoying as now I sometimes don't know which files I've download and which have been put there from a Open only action. Why do I have to use another folder for my download than Firefox for temporary files???

I want to know if Firefox will go back with that stupid idea or if I need to look for another browser?

Thank you

Nicolas

What Mozilla will do (version 102) is provide a preference in about:config.

What you can do in the meantime is change Settings > General > Downloads > Save files to {your temp folder} and switch back (if you wish) to Always ask you where to save files. (Remove the blank space in the following link.)

Thank you for the fast reply.

Seen another post but didn't understood the process.

Hope they will go back as people says this might be a temporary fix.

If you read the comment in the bug report, you will see there is no going back.
