Firefox Temp Directory Tip
« on: September 14, 2005, 04:46:48 am »
Hi,

I finally got a wifi card working on my zaurus and started playing with firefox

straight away when i came to download something i ran out of space .

its basically because it tries to write files to /tmp !


the way to change that setting is to..

start firefox

in the uri bar type about:config this will bring up the firefox tunables.

in the filter bar bellow type applications.tmp_dir or tmp_dir

it should bring up the setting as follows

application.tmp_dir type string value /tmp
double tap this line and change it to say /hdd3 or where ever you have space (flash drive sdcard).

and away you go , it'll now store all tmp files there before completing the download to the correct directory .
