Title:
  Firefox starts downloading in background without user content

Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  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.
