I couldn't find a dup bug for this one and so am recording what I found. Using a
post request with an encoding type of multipart/form-data leaves a temporary
file behind.
In order to see this,
-clean out your /tmp (or $TEMP) directory.
-click on this link above
-click submit on that page
-check to see a 'formpost' file in your temp directory!
Am leaving this as Linux (which is where I tested) but I believe this would be
all platforms.
Subsequent posts add a number to the 'formpost' file. Adding privacy, rtm
keywords and cc'ing mstoltz.

Also on Win2k.
To reproduce:
- Exit all apps
- Clean %TEMP
- start Mozilla
- go to http://gemal.dk/browserspy/upload.html
- upload a file
- press stop
- exit Mozilla
a file called "formpost" exits that contained the entire file you tried to send.

Marking rtm need info.
Setting Priority to P1, based on security issue of leaving around a file with
all of the post data.
Priority: P3 → P1
