Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
When I click on a link (on launchpad for instance) for a diff.gz file, I get an error dialog:
/tmp/xserver-
In the Download Manager it says "Failed" and double-clicking on it here (or Retry) just yields the same error dialog.
Looking at /tmp, the file in question has permission 0400. Changing it to 0600, I can double-click and open it in Download Manager again.

Clicking on the above link to my uploaded file in launchpad gives another result, probably because the server ships another MIME type. Now I get a question of opening with Firefox, which gives another error dialog, or with "less" which is useless because the less window probably disappears before I see it.
To see the original issue, see https:/ /launchpad. net/~tormodvold en/+archive and click on any "Available diffs".
