Firefox downloads to windows-temp but never cleans up!
I got Windows 7 installed on a small 30Gb SSD partition. Whenever firefox downloads a big file, any size file, it stores it in c:\windows\temp\
I watched closely as first the tempdir was 5MB and as soon as I downloaded a file with firefox the directory extends with the size of the downloading file. But when I close firefox or just do "ctrl-shift-del" which should delete all temporary thingies in Firefox. It doesn't remove the temporary files in c:\windows\temp!
PS. the file downloaded gets downloaded to the TEMP directory first then gets copied to the destination directory. Now you have two copies of a file what a waste - I know this can be resolved by disk cleanup, but I don't wnat to run that everytime I stop useing firefox.
I wonder if this is also the case with other programs and why does windows do this to my new SSD?
