Firefox for some reason accesses the "C: \ Users \ User \ AppData \ Local \ Temp \ mozilla-temp-files \" directory and writes something to the file without the "mozilla-temp-****" extension. Experienced to find out that this happens when watching videos from some sites ... Can I somehow disable / reconfigure it?

P.S .: The cache and browser profile are transferred to RAM.
