As of now, whenever I click "Open with..." when downloading a file, a copy of that file saves to my desktop and never gets cleared. I'd like to set the temporary folder so I can manually clear it periodically, but the only file management option I seem to have is to set downloads to always save in a certain folder--which does not appear to include "temporary" files. How can I change the destination folder for temporary downloads? And why does Firefox download and save the files before opening them? I don't want to save every PDF I read online, yet this seems to be the default setting in order to open files.

You probably need to set that temp folder in the Safari Preferences to set them for other programs.

Safari > Preferences > General > Save Dowloaded Files To

You can also set the Boolean pref browser.helperApps.deleteTempFileOnExit to true on the about:config page.
