// We store the temp files in the system temp dir.
//
// On Windows systems in particular we use a sub-directory of the temp
// directory, because:
//   1. DELETE_ON_CLOSE is unreliable on Windows, in particular if we power
//      cycle (and perhaps if we crash) the files are not deleted. We store
//      the temporary files in a known sub-dir so that we can find and delete
//      them easily and quickly.
//   2. On Windows NT the system temp dir is in the user's $HomeDir/AppData,
//      so we can be sure the user always has write privileges to that directory;
//      if the sub-dir for our temp files was in some shared location and
//      was created by a privileged user, it's possible that other users
//      wouldn't have write access to that sub-dir. (Non-Windows systems
//      don't store their temp files in a sub-dir, so this isn't an issue on
//      those platforms).
//   3. Content processes can access the system temp dir
//      (NS_GetSpecialDirectory fails on NS_APP_USER_PROFILE_LOCAL_50_DIR
//      for content process for example, which is where we previously stored
//      temp files on Windows). This argument applies to all platforms, not
//      just Windows.
