Recently (I'm not sure exactly when, but I think starting with 145.0),
firefox sometimes leaves an ~3.8MB .zip file in /tmp such as /tmp/7f8f7fca-e134-4f73-ba1f-ddcdd9c66ada.zip
which appeared a few minutes ago when I visited www.ups.com.
These zip files contain ~1800 certificates and matching .json files.
The files appear to update
~/.mozilla/ ... /storage/permanent/chrome/idb/*.files/{number}
and possibly other files under ~/.mozilla/firefox/ .
Is leaving these zip files (they have different names each time) in
/tmp just a bug, or does this indicate some other problem?
