I think this is a Firefox bug. Firefox should discourage storing user files to /tmp directory, just like other programs do.
I am against the hackish fix by making temporary files non-temporary by some arbitrary permission criteria. Even though I think it's a nice temporary hack, it's probably not the real fix for this bug. Changing how /tmp works seriously breaks the logic of things - and what does FHS say about /tmp? It makes more sense to fix obvious bugs in GUI applications than trying to hide the problems in the more internal parts of the operating system. -- Users should be discouraged from editing temporary files https://launchpad.net/bugs/15179 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
