well, I had asked the same thing for version 24 - answer was that it's fixed in 25, which in fact it was. Now, with 26, we're apparently back to Firefox setting its own umask, which is stricter than the inherited umask from the parent process. - any insights or reasons much appreciated. - thanks.

Sorry, this is a long story, as you can read in this bug: 919076 – Saved files permissions set incorrectly on Linux and Mac. I believe it says the real fix is in Firefox 28, and was able to get "uplifted" to Firefox 27, but it was too late for Firefox 26.
