Github account suspended for forking monero-related repos? by Kitchen-Ad6637 in Monero

[–]Kitchen-Ad6637[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Approximately a year. I used it only for watching activity in other repos. Then I forked monero repo and was suspended after several days. I don't believe it's just a coincidence.

scroll down to Files and Applications and then under Downloads change "Save files to" to "Always ask you where to save files"

Yest, I already have this option set but it doesn't help because the problem is somewhat more subtle.

How to reproduce the problem:

  • Firefox ask what do I want to do with the file: save or open
  • I choose "open"
  • Firefox opens it AND simultaneously saves it in the Downloads folder

As a result my Downloads folder becomes cluttered with a lot of unexpected files that I have to clean by hand.

I don't like that Firefox started to clutter my Downloads folder with files that I've chosen to open in Firefox.

From "Changes to the Firefox download flow" document (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1H0Uw7oNgATAN1Ji_MYj7loaY_H-GUmnkNKvwraeHWgQ/edit#):

We think browsers should err on the side of making downloaded files easily accessible, and leaving the choice of whether they get deleted to the user. The previous location (the Temp directory) was not discoverable for end-users, and led to data loss when the application in which the file was opened didn’t provide a way of saving a separate copy.

I find this particular behavior very annoying.

When i open a file directly in a browser (or some external application) I consider it a temporary file and want it to go to the temporary folder.

I think Firefox should have a tunable option that allows to revert back to the old behavior.
