I checked about:config, but I didn't find anything related to the temporary folder.

By default, when you choose to open a file instead of save it, it would download the file to `/tmp', and open it when completed, now I'd like to pick another location.

Already tried to add browser.cache.disk.parent_directory, but that doesn't seem to work for 16.0.2

  • @CrazyBuddy Hmm, I don't have that entry, only some "size" or "enable" stuff

    Have you checked whether the string "browser.cache.disk.enable" is true?

Create a new preference browser.cache.disk.parent_directory in about:config and use the value <Location> indicating the location you required. Then, make sure that you've toggled the browser.cache.disk.enable to TRUE value.

Hope that helps...
