Hi everyone
One annoying new feature that showed up in Firefox recently is that it downloads PDF files to my home directory rather then /tmp when I'm only viewing them.
The following thread discusses this: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1370409
All you have to do is go to the configuration ("about:config" in URL bar) and change the following option to "false: browser.download.improvements_to_download_panel
Cheers, Peter
