Comment 3 for bug 245716

This bug is *not* fixed in up-to-date lucid lynx. Files are now written to ~/.cache/.fr-* but this is still not $TEMP.

I would like to reduce the amount of writes to my ssd, while I don't mind writes to /tmp (which is mounted as tmpfs). Yes, I could also mount ~/.cache as tmpfs but doing so would be tedious to setup for every user. (A similar use-case to mine are nfs-mounted homes where $TEMP is likely to be local, while $HOMEDIR is not.)

I second that all temporary files should go into $TEMP, not into $HOMEDIR/.cache
