Maybe there's 1 chance in 20 that someone here knows what to do with this (maybe there's a setting in about:config or something).

When I start a download in Firefox it starts downloading in the background as soon as I click the link, or right click and "Save link as..". See green line on bandwidth meter at bottom mid-right of desktop screencap... I haven't clicked "OK" to save the debian iso and it's already downloading at over 4.5MB/s.

How do I disable this behaviour so it won't rape my bandwidth before I've decided where (and whether) to save something?
(mostly for connecting to the internet through my phone where bandwidth is sort of expensive)

That's a useful feature of Firefox but I don't know how to disable it.

Did some checking around, it looks like there are no ways to disable it. Look for the term "firefox pre downloading".
Most of the answers will point you to pair Firefox with a download manager.

you already have decided to download it if you have the "save or open" dialog open
