Firefox 2.0
downloading and opening linked files
I am able to change the download location in firefox prefs... but when I click on a pdf file in a link and open the file in Preview, the file is downloaded to my desktop, eventhough my downloads go to "my downloads" folder.
For example, in yahoo mail, I click on a link to a pdf or word doc, the firefox "open..." dialog box allows me to choose to "Open with 'Choose...'". After I press 'Choose...' and select word or preview, the file always ends up on the desktop.
If I select "Save to Disk" for that same link, it will go to the location specified in firefox prefs, as expected.
I have tried editing about:config:", adding "applications.tmp_dir" and the directory value, but that doesn't seem to have any affect at all.
Any ideas how I can set the "Open with Choose..." download location???
Thanks
