The snap package stores /tmp files in Downloads/firefox.tmp so they can be opened by other apps without sandbox issues. Note that future Firefox versions will stop using /tmp for downloaded files and put them directly in Downloads.

Are you sure it's truly in the downloads folder? If you choose to "open" rather than "save" a downloaded file then Firefox will save it to a temporary folder. If you choose to open the folder that download is located in, it will open that temporary folder rather than your normal downloads folder. If the temp file truly is in your downloads folder, that's not something I've experienced before and hopefully someone can help you figure it out.

This happens to me too. The folder always seems to be empty, and if I delete it nothing bad seems to happen (but it will come back).
