OK, I've "un-preferenced" my Firefox back to its dreary basic self :-) and tested on a pdf file and I see what you mean by the pdf file going into /tmp when simply viewed by Acroread (but why one would view a pdf file and not save it on the spot but rather go thru the convoluted process of saving it LATER is beyond me - but I wont argue :-) ;
Fingers are sometimes faster than the mind, you know ;-) Dunno. Sometimes I do one way, others the other way. I'm not that consistent.
seems to me it makes more sense to save it first and if you don't want it then delete it.).
Further, this file has been sitting in /tmp for some 22+ hours now and hasn't (quickly) disappeared as was suggested that it would.
I thought it would, but maybe not. Maybe it has to be purged by the /tmp system purge script, which by default deletes after 180 days.
Also, as I mentioned, this pdf file - as everything FF "sees" on the 'net - is sitting in the FF Cache so there are actually 2 copies of this same pdf file sitting on the HD although the file name in the Cache is not the same.
What? :-O Are you positive of that? Seems a bug to me. Why would they do it that way? Maybe the cache is the copy for FF, the other one is for the plugin. I've no idea.
However, if you use konqueror and look inside the Cache, konqueror identifies all the files there by their type - ie, it identifies files as pdfs, HTMLs, gifs, jpgs, etc etc. so it was/is easy to find and copy the pdf file I was playing around whereever I wanted. And because I have made my Cache big (200MB) it will be for some days yet.
Yes, sometimes I look in there, using command line "file" to find a file that right-click refuses to download, like google map tiles ;-) I knew that conqueror has that ability, just it didn't occur to me using it.
Cheers.
