FWIW I'm running 31.6 ESR on 151a8. It has a terrible memory leak which forces me to restart it frequently. Sometimes I'm even forced to power cycle the system.
I sometimes randomly see the "can't save files" problem. However, if you open the file w/ FF you can use a terminal window to copy the file from /tmp.

I have been stuck on Firefox 25 for some time now, having been bitten by the "Firefox won't save downloaded files" issue, and had somewhat stopped trying new versions to address the issue around Firefox 29.x. Anyway, we always used to have pretty consistent new builds in the contrib area on the mozilla site, I believe that they were typically compiled by someone within Oracle, in Asia, but that really isn't important. Anyway, I went out to mozilla.org to see what was currently available, and the newest thing I can find is Firefox 31.8.0 esr Is that really the newest version of Firefox available to us? Or have downloads been moved to somewhere else? Comments appreciated.
