I have an application in which I users download a document, open the document, make changes to it, and upload it to a database. I would like the temporary file removed, so don't need users to save this file. The change to Firefox 3.0 prevents users from saving the file to the database once they have downloaded the file, opened it, and made their changes. Instead, the file must be saved to the file system before it can be uploaded to the database.

Thus, I disagree with the decision that temporary files should be marked as read-only.

A possible alternative solution is that when the *user* saves a downloaded file for the first time, the Save As dialog appears, even though the file already has a temporary name.
