I have recently encountered another issue with firefox, that is it will
fill up my /tmp partition with "ghost" files. Meaning, df(1) (and other
applications) will tell me that my 4GB /tmp is full, but I don't see any
files there and du(1) will say that /tmp only has 18KB used. If I kill
firefox, the /tmp space becomes available again.

Have not yet identified which site is triggering this behavior, but I
suspect it's one of Gmail, Google Sheets, etc which I tend to have open
for long periods of time.

OpenBSD 6.5 GENERIC.MP#1 amd64

Landry's FF build (67.0.4) with uBlock Origin.
