Modify Firefox to handle files downloaded to Temp more appropriately
<strike>Often files downloaded by the browser are put in a temporary folder that is emptied on close. Users (and especially novice users) should be protected from inadvertent data loss as a result of important files being saved to this temp folder. This project will add fixes to the browser so that users are protected. Ideas include:
* Make Firefox aware of common productivity <span class="plainlinks">[http://physioactive.sg/services/massage/sports-massage.html<span style="color:black;font-weight:normal; text-decoration:none!important; background:none!important; text-decoration:none;"> sports massage singapore</span>] file types (e.g., .doc, .pdf) and whitelist these types so they aren't deleted
* Have office type files download automatically to a documents folder instead of temp
* Firefox could check the timestamp of such files and delete them only if the timestamp is the same as when it was originally saved by the browser (i.e., has not been edited)
