Is "claudiomarchiori" the username of the Mac account you are logged into? This error normally results when you're trying to save to another user's folder. (The most common way for this to happen is for preferences to be copied from another user's Firefox profile)
actually i tried to download a back up from my website which has a different login/psw. could this be the reason? if so how do i change the user profile?
The username/password from the website is not related - the Mac account is the issue here.
The best fix is to simply choose a different folder to save to. Instead of /Users/claudiomarchiori/Desktop/ , pick another folder.
