Use Konq on Opera not Mozilla. They for reasons beyond me have decided at Mozilla.org to do it just like IE. (older versions didn't do this.) 2. Use gftp or a similar graphical ftp client. (works faster and it has resume ability.) 3. mv /tmp to /home and then ln -s /home/tmp /tmp (dirty trick your mileage may vary.) then use Mozilla.
