Uhhhh #Firefox lately puts all PDF files in my download directory, even when I tell Firefox to only open them, and even in #PrivateBrowsing …
Anyone know something how to get the expected behavior back?
ironically I still have a PDF file open from before the last restart and so far it still shows me the remote URL for it as expected
Wonder what will happen on next restart or if I reload that tab …
@trisschen Looks like `browser.download.start_downloads_in_tmp_dir` setting in about:config brings back the old behavior. The files are still kept (at least with external apps), but in a temporary directory.
@1ynx Well, almost: It still doesn’t show the original URL of the PDF in the urlbar, but the local temporary location, meaning it will be lost on restart instead of being able to reopen it, and not really possible to share a link to the file …
But it’s at least something, thanks
