Of course not! You are passing the buck!

When Okular takes the file from Firefox, it assumes responsibility for the
care of that file. If I, as a user, find that Okular prevents the file
being saved, then Okular has failed me. And as a user with some experience,
I can say this error seems unique in all that experience, and it seems
logical to expect that as file that is open is a file that can be saved,
regardless of what happens to the underlying file, just as with any text
editor.
