Details

When Mozilla creates a file (such as a prefs file or an HTML file from the editor), the protection on the new file is not what is expected. For a new file the protection should be the user's default, and for a new version of an existing file the protection should be inherited from the previous version. In M14 all files seem to be creatd with S:RWED,O:RWED,G,W protection.
Mozilla creates new files with 0700 protection, hence the behaviour we see in M14. I have changed the VMS library to use the user's default, so in M15 and onwards Mozilla should "do the right thing" on OpenVMS.

This is an OpenVMS-specific bug, and so QA can't verify its fixed. So I'm closing, and you'll just have to trust me :-)
