Taming firefox temp files on osx

It's very annoying on OS X Firefox saves temporary files on your desktop per default. So you'll get a bunch of PDFs on your screen after a hard work day ;)

Here is how to fix it:
  • Change the Download Folder in Safari, Firefox uses it as tempDir.
  • Add the following key to your config to keep the tempDir clean (Firefox will delete temp files after closing): app.helperApps.deleteTempFileOnExit = true
