The "principle" here is one of the factors, and not one of bigger ones.

This behaviour (i.e. remove the temporary files when closing tabs or exiting)
affects _any_ application launched by Firefox: okular, kwrite/kate, gwenview,
you name it. Adding the same workarounds in any application potentially
launched by Firefox and used by users means adding more complexity to those
applications (like proven by the discussion in this bug, and my attempt 12
years ago, bug 163363), and even more so when each application usually handles
file reading in its own way, making even harder to "share" a potential
workaround.

Also, what if you try to talk with Mozilla people about this, for example?
