Joe did a:  change modes for all users minus writeable privileges, so it
doesn't get updated.

Though, that may still mightn't help, depending on how Firefox writes
the file back to the directory.  It mightn't directly write back to it,
but play move/rename delete/replace games.  Or get shirty if it can't
write its own files.
