The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Firefox::Downloads Panel' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

This bug also occurs when the default action for a file type is set to open the file in a program.
Being able to open files without permanently downloading them is one of Firefox's few remaining killer features over most Chromium-based browsers, so I hope this gets fixed soon.

This behavior is expected to avoid dataloss.
Firefox 102 will contain a new pref browser.download.start_downloads_in_tmp_dir that can be flipped in about:config.
