Bug Description
Binary package hint: apparmor
Something new in Karmir 9.10 Alpha 6 (compared to Jaunty): Firefox cannot write to ntfs-3g mounted partitions. It's blocked via apparmor. The apparmor configurat ion is out-of-the-box.
Saving to ext3 root partition works fine.

Thank you for using Ubuntu and taking the time to report a bug. The use of AppArmor with firefox is optional and not the default. It is not clear whether is explicitly enabled AppArmor for firefox. Did you?
That said, can you add the following to /etc/apparmor. d/usr.bin. firefox- 3.5:
owner /media/** rw,
and then reload the profile with 'sudo apparmor_parser -r /etc/apparmor. d/usr.bin. firefox- 3.5' and report back if it fixes the problem for you?
