Title:
  download file does not honour preferences

Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Just updated to "FF18.0 beta for mint" in KDE mint Maya 13 live dvd
  and it's a mess, basic stuff is stuffed.

  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.
