The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Firefox::File Handling' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please revert this change in case you think the bot is wrong.
Hi Meinert,
I was able to reproduce this issue in the latest Firefox versions using this PDF file as sample: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwiWnJnsvMj0AhUEr5UCHT-6CQ0QFnoECAUQAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2FWAI%2FER%2Ftests%2Fxhtml%2Ftestfiles%2Fresources%2Fpdf%2Fdummy.pdf&usg=AOvVaw1yfXcABf-Bej4cjTs8tPJn
Nightly 96.0a1 (2021-12-03) (64-bit)
Beta 95.0 (64-bit)
Release 94.0.2 (64-bit)
ESR 91.3.0esr (64-bit)
I'll be marking this ticket as NEW for visibility.
Thanks for your report and regards.

I'm afraid this is intentional. There are extensive comments in bug 1738574 explaining why we're going to stop saving these to tmp.
Well thats unfortunate. This is sure to be just another change in a long list of many as to why people are leaving Firefox.
Just because everyone else does it doesn't mean Firefox has to do it as well...
