Umask wrong, when downloading something firefox sets own umask instead of umask from directory. This wasn't so before today (I think)

When saving a file (download) in the download directory witch has username x and group y set with stickybits on (ubuntu 13.04) firefox saves the file with user and groupname x and permisions 0600. I have a program looking automatically for files in my download folder and it does that with the group permissions (y). Before today that always worked but now something changed... update?...
If I create a file myself in the Download directory it takes the x/y user/group and 664 rights (umask 0002). What changed in firefox that it doesn'r respect the umask of the folder anymore?

This problem is back in version 26!

  • Mac adds automatically a suffix when downloading a file. How to stop the Mac from doing this?

    I want to download a gps-file for my tomtom navigation system.
    These files have the suffix .itn
    When downloading, OS X transforms the file from filename.itn  to   filename.itn.txt automatically, therefore adds an ".txt", and opens the texteditor with the file.
    I just want OS X to leave the file as it ist and add or do nothing to or with it. Just put it in the download-folder.
    When hiding the suffix with apple-i, the file is no longer readable for the navi system. There ist no option to tell the mac just to do nothing; you just can select a different app. But this is not the solution.
    What can I do?
    Thanks

    I use a much older version of Safari when I do use it. I have that unchcked but when I download a file Safari just downloads it without any prompt for a file name.  What the OP needs is a way to change how Safari handles downloads so it either identifies them correctly and stops adding the wrong extenion to a file, or a way to edit the file name at download time. My old version doesn't have any apparent way to configure either of these, but I can do it in Firefox.
    What?
    The file has a name prior to downloading, Safari does not ask for one to be added at download time (neither do other browsers), once the file has been downloaded the extension can be corrected.

  • Is there a way to "Save As" when downloading with Firefox?

    I want to be able to "Save As" when downloading with Firefox. The only options I am given is to Save or Open. All the previous questions I have seen deal with being able to save to a certain location, and that I can easily set in Firefox. What I want is to be able to change the filename, so if it goes to download "abc123.pdf" I can rename it to "123abc.pdf" when it downloads.
    We use a web based application that I have to pull down pdf charts multiple times every day, but the problem is when you go to download a chart, every one is the same name. I can't just save it to the default directory since it will overwrite the previous one or just append a (1) or something. What I have to do now is use the Open option and have a pdf reader open it, then save from the pdf reader giving it a unique filename, which is extra steps that I do not have to do when using IE, Opera, etc. since I can do a Save As from those and rename it before it downloads.

    Is your friends phone jailbroke? Also are you using the facebook app? If so then you need to ask the developer of the app what the problem is.

  • When I go to download something, the site tells me to install it from the Firefox Download Manager. Where is it? It seems like everytime I download something, it disappears without a trace forever.

    I have a Windows based computer. I've tried to download a couple of things, and the Firefox download screen pops up and says it was downloaded, but I can never find where it went to. How do I get to where these things downloaded to so I can install them?

    Start Firefox, click on the Tools menu item, and then click on Downloads.
    This should up a Downloads window which shows you all the downloads you've done - you can, however clear the list or remove individual entries.
    If you click on an entry in the Downloads list with your right mouse button, a menu will be displayed. Click on "Open containing folder."
    This will open Windows Explorer and show the folder where the file was stored when you downloaded.
    If you simply want to execute the download, right click and select Open or just double click on the entry.
    In the future, when you download something and Firefox displays the folder window, look at where it is pointing. That is where the file will go.

  • Why can I not print out a pdf-file (train ticket NS) when downloaded with Firefox? (file says (SECURED)

    When ordering and paying a train ticket by internet they send a pdf-file, which one must download and print. When downloading this with Firefox (from my e-mail account) the pdf-file says (SECURED) and I cannot print out the ticket (pdf-file). (Adobe program stops automatically).
    When downloading this same pdf-file in Safari, I encounter no problems.

    Current Firefox versions have enabled a built-in PDF Viewer that doesn't have all features that other PDF readers like the Adobe Reader have or may not function properly otherwise.
    You can change the action for Portable Document Format (PDF) from Preview in Firefox to use the Adobe Reader application or set to "Always Ask" in "Firefox > Preferences > Applications".

    In current Firefox releases (29 and later) the orange Firefox menu button has been replaced by the three-bar Firefox Menu button at the far right end of the Navigation Toolbar and this button is always visible, whether you have the menu bar visible or hidden<br>A consequence of this location is that you no longer can hide the Navigation Toolbar
    *There is a star like button next to the search bar on the Navigation Toolbar to bookmark the current web page and a "Show your bookmarks" button next to it to open the Bookmarks in a drop down menu.<br>You can find "Show All Bookmarks" to open the Bookmarks Manager (Library) at the bottom of this drop-down list
    *If you bookmark a page then "Bookmark This Page" in the Bookmarks menu changes to "Edit This Bookmark"

    It is still possible to have the menu bar visible via the right-click context menu of a toolbar to have menus like the File menu with Print (Ctrl+P) and Print Preview and the Bookmarks menu available.

  • Why are some app icons hi-def in the App Store, then pixelated when downloaded? (Even after uninstall/reinstall)? Any way to fix this?

    Just as an example, TSN. The icon always appears as hi-def/Retina display in the app store if you search for it or it asks you to update, then when it updates it goes back to being pixelated. I can see if it is an app-specific issue but there are other apps like Bank of America which do the same thing. I don't think it's because they haven't updated the icon because they have, it appears perfect when viewed in the App Store. Uninstall/reinstall did not fix this. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated! It may sound minor, but it makes all the difference visually!

    How pixelated could the app look like?  The only reason why the app icon could look pixelated, is if you are using the iPhone 4 or iPod Touch 4th generation.  They obviously have an upscaled resolution, so the apps could not have been upscaled when downloading... I am not sure about this issue...
    Like you said, it is a minor issue...

  • When I close Firefox, my session can no longer be restored. This is frustrating because I have customized my App Tabs.

    The option to "Restore Session" does not appear. I get an ooops Firefox apology with only the option to start a new session.

    It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    Delete the sessionstore.js [2] file and possible sessionstore-##.js [3] files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).
