Okay, somebody put a bounty on this. How much is it going to cost me?
Endless frustration isn't a cost I'm going to accept.
So what'll it be? $50? $100? What do I have to pay to not have edited
documents getting wiped out with no warning?
Let's see.. assuming that 7 hours of work have been los
Sounds good to me :)
Could you do the read only thing with an extension?

True enough ... maybe the options should change. Instead of "Open with ..."
and "Save to Disk", there should be: "Open with ...", "Save, and open with
...", and "Save".
Interestingly, I recently found out my mom didn't want to pick "Save to
Disk" because she associated "disk" with needing a flopp

Perhaps adding something to the download dialog (where you pick to open it
with an application or save to disk) saying that unless the file is saved to
another location, that it will be deleted when the computer is shut down
would be sufficient.
That, at least, would warn the user, if they read the

Yes, I think the general Downloads dir would get too crowded.

I can't find the Moziall bug either ...
We need to know why they have rejected the bug, but if they aren't going to
fix it, Ubuntu should. Losing a file destroys the user's confidence in the

How about storing them in
${FIREFOX_DOWNLOAD_DIR}/${USERNAME}AutomaticDownloads by default? (e.g:
/home/sean/Downloads/seanAutomaticDownloads)
Also, let the user specify where the AutoDownloads directory should go ...
maybe some people want to set it as /tmp. (e.g.
/tmp/seanAutomaticDownloads)
