Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: firefox
When you click on a download-able link in Firefox it pops up a 'Save As/
Open With' window. But by this time firefox has already started
downloading the file in background in /tmp with a .part extension (in
my linux distro). This may not seem such an issue with files that you
need but sometimes you click some links mistakenly. This issue is
aggravating for users like me who have a hi speed but limited bandwidth
internet connection as this behavior wastes bandwidth. Also there does
not seem be an option in about:config to change this behavior.
** Affects: firefox (Ubuntu)
