    as the pic below,i'm downloading some wiki files up to over 1Gb.Before downloading them,i set all saved direction and temp folder to partition C.But the saved folder for downloading file is D.

    and now when i downloaded half of size,the C warn that there are no more free spaces for storing temp folder.

    therefore,i have to change temp folder to another partition,in this cages is D.Hoverer it seems not work

    This has also annoyed the heck out of me. Winrar has a similar problem when I unrar from d: to d: then it first wants to save all data on c: and later move it.

    I think you can fix it by changing the enviroment varibales.
    Go to Control Panel and then System. There you will see a button called Enviroment Varibles. Change the path for Temp and TMP.

    I dont think there is anyway to change this for firefox. Only other thing I can think of is installing firefox on d: but I dont know if that will work.
