open files without saving them to ~/Downloads folder on a mac
I have Mac OS Sierra 10.12.5 (16F73) running firefox 53.0.3 (64-bit). I want to be able to open a file without saving it on to my ~/Downloads folder. On Windows, when you choose to open a file instead of saving it, it opens the file and keeps it on a temporary folder until you chose to either discard it or make changes to it and save it somewhere else, like in your Documents folder.

What is the value of this pref if you check this on the about:config page?
- browser.helperApps.deleteTempFileOnExit
You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.

That actually worked! it clears/deletes the files in the ~/Downloads folder after i close firefox.
