Firefox download to external storage

Hi,

 

I use Mandriva linux 2008. 1 and one issue about Firefox download file to external storage that is behaving strangely which I am seeking some advice.

 

I have two external USB storage : flash drive and external harddisk. When I use Firefox to download files to these drives, it failed. Yet when I first download the files to "internal" hard disk and then move these to the external USB drives then it is working fine.

 

Any help is appreciated.

That has been a reported bug at bugzilla.mozilla.org since 2004. They claim it's been fixed in the Firefox 3 betas. If you look at the bugs listed about this at bugzilla.mozilla you will find a workaround for NTFS, but I don't believe there's a fix listed for FAT16/32.

 

Konqueror will d/l to your usb flash drive. :)
