I had downloaded a couple of pdfs from google drive via private browsing which were stored in my 'Downloads' folder. But as soon as I closed the window the pdfs were deleted. I had also downloaded a zip file which wasn't deleted.

Another thing I noticed was that pdfs downloaded from Firefox's private mode were set to read-only. This was not the case with normal Firefox, Edge and Edge's private window.
