Whenever I start firfox, it tries to download two .iso files into Desktop. Until recently, I wouldn't notice until it announced that it had run out of room. At that point I would click on the messages to make them go away. In the mean time, it had been chewing up bandwidth. One file, I had tried to download by mistake. Don't remmeber what I did with it on purpose. The other I downloaded into a partition with more room. I found this: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/926609 I did not like the side-effects. For now, I've stopped the downloads by replacing the target files with empty unreadable files. Now I get an error message right away and it does not chew up my bandwidth. I'd lke a better solution. Any ideas?
