It seems to be permission related for both ntfs-3g and fat32. If you mount NTFS without the use of any of uid, gid, umask, fmask and dmask options, i.e. no permission checking is done at all, then probably download will work. Otherwise you must configure these options in a way that the relevant firefox user permissions match the preconfigured NTFS one, even if you use the 'silent' option.
On fat32 the quiet option may help. -- Downloading files with firefox on an ntfs partition (ntfs 3g) results in empty files https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/105474 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
