Similar to bug/892927, bug/1004037 I set edit preferences: no - Show the Downloads window when downloading no - close it when.. no - save files to [ ] - not set, left at default default value mint/Downloads yes - always ask attempted to download a file. No dialogue appeared to ask where to save it, I didn't check at that time what was happening, thought it had just failed. Some time later, a pop-up panel saying insufficient space to save file. There had been multiple attempts, all marked "failed" (though apparently successful) to download the file to root/tmp, , file-1, file-2 ... etc., which had filled up the allocation. So, the download not honouring the preferences set, sending to wrong folder, and marking as failed, retry, when finished. Is Firefox losing the will to live? yeesh.
