Before screaming, you should understand why this bug is closed as INVALID..
There is absolutely no bug in mozilla since it complies to $TMPDIR variable
which is the standard way for setting another /tmp..
Reopening and assigning to initscript, since /etc/profile.d/tmpdir.*sh is in
it.. Current policy is to use non-shared /tmp for security level >= 3. Should we
use this for security level >= 2 ?

Hi,
by download, mozilla creates a temporary file (something.exe) in /tmp. However,
/tmp is now a filesystem by default with size approximately 200MB. Thus one
cannot download files larger than 200MB.
Is it enough to delete the /tmp line in /etc/fstab? (Suse suggests aleso changes
in /etc/init.d/boot.swap?
Except of not using the tmpfs for /tmp, is it possible to change the behavior of
mozilla? I did not find anything in Preferences.
Thanks
Milos
