Comment (by cypherpunks):

 The same behavior reproducible for vanilla Firefox 24-ESR, with the same
 settings it unlinks thumbnails but keeps fd. If to enable history then it
 doesn't unlinks files but all fds still open even while tabs closed, and
 seems like no limits, every new tab with different output will increase
 number of thumbnails files. Unless some limits actually exists, it proves
 again: Firefox is not designed for security and safety. Keep minimal
 number of tabs and do periodic restart. It's only solution.
