It looks like you are trying to write to the following file:
/media/FreeAgent Drive/torrents/[www.itoma.info]_Les hits de lhiver 2009-ITOMA.torrent

The firefox profile has the following rule in its profile:
  owner /media/** rw,

How was this drive mounted? What are the permissions of /media/FreeAgent Drive/torrents/?
