Is it your question
How file downloads are handled in Firefox https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/manage-downloads-preferences-using-downloads-menu
When I open a file with an application, why is it also saved to my Downloads folder? Before Firefox version 98, files you opened in Firefox with an application were also saved to the system Temp folder on Windows and Linux, even though you may not have been aware of it.

You can try 1 - Go to configuration editor https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/about-config-editor-firefox 2 - Enter a search term browser.download.start_downloads_in_tmp_dir You can double-click on the preference to set the value to true
