Public bug reported:

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 at 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 at nausicaa:/media/Temporaire/Téléchargements$ echo Hello World > somefile
stephane at nausicaa:/media/Temporaire/Téléchargements$ ls -l somefile 
-rw-rw-r-- 1 stephane stephane 12 sept. 19 08:56 somefile
