Package: mozplugger
Version: 1.14.0-2

Hello,

since a while (since 1.14.0-1, I belive) mozplugger stores its temporary
files in $HOME/.mozplugger. This leads to silent pollution of the user's
home directory over time because those files are not removed when
firefox crashes (which is not that uncommon), gets killed or terminates
otherwise unexpected.

Storing temporary files in /tmp where they belong alleviates this issue
because 1) orphaned files are not uncommon there (i.e. users expect them
there) and 2) they usually get removed at boot at the latest.


Although this is probably fixable within the Debian package, this is
probably something to discuss with upstream as well.


regards
   Mario
