You opened a radar ticket for what looks like a similar issue (except in Firefox) a few years ago: http://openradar.appspot.com/6025243 I don't know much about how the com.apple.quarantine attribute is set by the OS, but given the similarities (gaining the attribute on a file that isn't downloaded), I can't help but think that they're possibly, somehow related. Just something I found while Googling the text of Kahil's inquiry, minus the UUID.
