@Marc Deslauriers Thanks for that, I didn't think it was a direct threat, but was unhappy about the behaviour. which I still find rather strange.
I saw a potential for leaving a very obscured hidden file (files) on the system, which could form a helper basis for an exploit, even if is does not directly cross a security boundary. No direct evidence of an actual exploit, though (fingers crossed). At the moment, I reckon this has only happened consistently with Ryushare. Other downloads seem to work most of the time, though I still have the (slightly unconscious) impression that some other downloads initially get diverted to /tmp, but act correctly later on. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1097942 Title: download file does not honour preferences To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/1097942/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
