Set temporary and permanent download directories for Firefox on OSX

Read this first https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=311292#c55

So I used Camino to set the global download directory to the /private/tmp folder (by dragging and dropping it into the Camino prompt). Then I set Firefox to Download permanent files wherever I wanted. The result now is PDFs open in adobe on a single click and get removed automatically. If I want to keep the file I just download it again to the download directory or use the save as prompt in Adobe. Easy. And now I can see my beautiful backgrounds again! What a treat.

All the best,

Nate
