I agree, there should be a config file. Here's my usecase: We use an online doc storage app. The permanent storage is in the cloud. We want to be able to download a doc, edit it, and store the edits back in the cloud. We still have to do save as at the end, but we are using OO and it's just

You want save and openwith to work the same? save to somewhere other than /tmp? same permissions? From what i gather from your comments this is not really a firefox issue. Open with should save to /tmp since you are not intending to keep it Until you save it in the doc viewer. When saving to

How does one disable ths behaviour in Firefox? I often have Firefox save and open files in /tmp, and I find it a real pain to have to chmod the files so I can edit them. And I find it quite useful to save files in /tmp that I want to edit but I don't want to save long term as I know they'll be

This is a bug in the application that you're using to edit the files. No I don't think it is a bug in the application that I'm using to edit the files, it's the behaviour of the application I'm using to download the files, in this case Firefox. For example, if I download a word document,

IMHO OpenOffice is just an example of application that illustrates a use-case scenario where this feature proves to be flawn. If we decide that all downloads are to be opened on read-only mode by the target application, then we have to change the behavior of all the possible target applications

I think you're missing the point. Firefox behaves correctly, OpenOffice probably doesn't. The fact that other applications might behave wrongly as well doesn't make it less wrong. But apart from that: have you actually checked how other applications behave? Gedit for example already allows to

You are right that the wget comparison was not proper, but actually my point was: there is no such thing as right/wrong behaviour, because it all depends on what the user wants to do with the file, which we don't know. So I am not talking about bugs here, just about features. An OpenOffice
