When the user downloads something in Firefox, but selects to Open in a program
instead of saving, Firefox saves the file in "C:\Documents and
Settings\username\Local Settings\Temp" (in Windows XP) and leaves it there.
There should be an option next to the clear history, cookies, cache, etc to
delete temporary files such as these. Ideally, the files should be saved in a
created firefox sub folder, and then the option could easily clear everything in
there.
