There is no special Firefox cache for downloaded files, Firefox download the
file to $TEMP (or java.io.tmpdir property from Java) and run javaws from there,
so only $TEMP is needed.

Note: take into account that there is precedence of doing something special
with downloaded files on $TEMP, for example, LibreOffice tell the user the file
is read only, so the user save the file in another path, this avoid the user to
save the file and think they are saving the original file on the Web.
