13 That will be if I can't get a source build to work.  Thing is, I won't
14 be surprised if it does the same thing.  I suspect this is a bug related
15 to some permission issue or something related to it within Firefox
16 itself.  I've wondered if I should allow Firefox to store the files in
17 its own download directory and then move them after it is completed.  I
18 may try that as well.

20 Long term tho, I do prefer building from source.  It's sort of why I
21 like Gentoo.  ;-)  It's on the list of options tho.  It would eliminate
22 any local build configs too.  It is a good idea to at least test it.  I
23 may try that next.  If it still does it, it isn't me for sure.  It's
24 Firefox itself.
