Or firefox downloads for me kernel-debuginfo (over 1G) and I *open* it in Ark (not save it). So it ends up in /tmp/ too (see above).
So no, /tmp still should not be a tmpfs by default for everybody: 1) there are still brand new machines with only 1G of RAM installed. 2) /tmp is used for storing large files by users or firefox.
It would make sense to fix Firefox to use /var/tmp instead of /tmp for such case (or XDG_CACHE_DIR).
I disagree that user specific download history should be in a shared directory.
Right now, this directory is only accessible by the user (and root, obviously). I'm pretty sure the current behavior is just a side-effect of Firefox using TMPDIR as default (confirmed by https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-release/source/xpcom/io/SpecialSystemDirecto...
Firefox should be able to: a) have per user download history b) clean that download history when it's cleaned from the interface and when files no longer exist in the cache directory
This should be reported to Mozilla, I think.
Moving download history to ~/.cache/firefox seems like a better idea.
Currently, Fedora is overriding TMPDIR="$XDG_CACHE_HOME/tmp"|' byt only when they build rpm to be put into flatpak. -- Frederic Crozat Release Manager SUSE Linux Enterprise SUSE
