You can but you should reboot right after, there is also some hidden
files in there you might want to get rid of.
I found that if you open something with tbird for ff and then quit tbird
or ff before quitting the app the might have fired up (say oo) with the
file open, it will keep the file in /tmp. Also, if ff should freeze and
you slam it down, same difference. My step mother has a habit of doing
things like this, and I always wondered, how she would end up with so
much crap in her /tmp. So my conclusion was/is, if the parent process
that started another process goes away first, it leaves things (files)
that the parent process started in /tmp.
