This bug can be easily reproduced using a Kubuntu live CD. I used kubuntu-13.04-desktop-amd64.iso with usb-creator.
Firefox is not pre-installed on the image but it can be added using an assistant in Muon. For some reason Muon installs Firefox 20 instead of Firefox 24. Files downloaded with Firefox 20 get group permissions (-rw-rw-r--). After updating the package lists and installing again, Firefox 24 is available. Files downloaded with Firefox 24 don't get group permissions (-rw-------). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1227497 Title: Missing group permissions on Firefox downloads Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I can observe the following behavior with firefox 24.0+build1-0ubuntu0.13.04.1 on two different Kubuntu installations (i386 and amd64). Firefox 23 was not affected at least on the i386 (32bit) machine. First download any file with Firefox. Example: http://www.vvs.de/download/252.pdf Then check the permissions on the downloaded file. Example: stephane@nausicaa:/media/Temporaire/Téléchargements$ ls -l 252.pdf -rw------- 1 stephane stephane 12814 sept. 19 08:50 252.pdf No one excepted for the file owner is granted access rights by default. I expect new files to be created with the permissions -rw-rw-r--. This is what I get creating a new file using echo: stephane@nausicaa:/media/Temporaire/Téléchargements$ echo Hello World > somefile stephane@nausicaa:/media/Temporaire/Téléchargements$ ls -l somefile -rw-rw-r-- 1 stephane stephane 12 sept. 19 08:56 somefile To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/1227497/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
