Firefox on OSX - Stop it from using Desktop as a tempfile area?

    Date: 07/09/07 (Mozilla)    Keywords: no keywords

    I'm having issues with Firefox after I moved from Windows to OSX.

    I have set Firefox to "Always ask me where to save" - which works great - IF I'm saving a file. However, if I'm OPENING a file with another program (such as PDF files getting opened in Preview, or a .torrent file, etc), it just dumps a copy of the file ON THE DESKTOP as a temporary folder!

    Despite some people's beliefs, the desktop is not a dumping bin for anything and everything. How can I stop Firefox from doing this, and quit having to delete dozens of files on my desktop every day?
