Using a Debian-9 template, firefox downloads to ~/Downloads. It doesnt touch temporary storage. But you can change this under Preferences. To increase the size of /tmp or /dev/shm: sudo mount -o remount,size=4096M /dev/shm Alternatively, create a directory under /: sudo mkdir /down sudo chown user:user /down And set that as target for Downloads in user preferences. > > I could never stand your posts on this "forum", and if you are the main dev > on this project now it might be time to abandon Qubes-os. > I'm not -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
