We should default to downloading PDFs with content-disposition:attachment, not storing in the temp dir so they don't get deleted after use. As part of this work we should add telemetry to see how common this is.

I believe this work is only necessary on Windows. We should default to downloading to ~/Downloads/FirefoxTemp/ so previously temporary downloads are still concentrated in one area and don't clutter up user's Download directory.

Could this be in a special part of the cache or session store?

Currently if you use the "Open in Nightly" feature, those tabs fail to restore after an update, etc.
