Re: permission magically changed

[Nadeem Bitar <nadiizu earthlink net>]

The problem turned out to be firefox. When i downloaded a particular
file using firefox the permission  of only my home directory was
changing and I wasn't able to save the file. I was able to download the
same file using epiphany which is weird.
