Your best bet is probably to write a Firefox plugin. The new thing in FF plugins is JetPack; I don't know much about it myself, though. NPAPI plugins can do whatever they want (including writing files). Under IE, you can only write to a low integrity part of the file system (the user's LocalLow directory under Vista and Win7) even with a plugin. This is because IE runs in protected mode; I think Chrome does as well, so it probably also has this restriction. You could potentially do this with a Java applet as well, but it would have to be signed. I wouldn't recommend an applet, though, as there are huge compatibility issues between JDK and applet versions. You might also look at Google Gears; it's a fairly sophisticated open-source plugin and thus might be a good source of ideas and code snippets.
