Steps to reproduce:

1. Install Ubuntu 21.10 (impish). It ships with Firefox installed as a Snap that is maintained by Mozilla.
2. Check the ~/Downloads directory, it should be empty
3. Run Firefox.
4. Check the ~/Downloads directory, it should now have an empty directory named "firefox.tmp".

Actual results:

An empty directory is being created at ~/Downloads and I believe this is not the intended behavior. The directory never goes away, it just stays there. If you delete it, it will be recreated when you run Firefox again.

Expected results:

It shouldn't create temporary files in my Downloads directory.
