Public bug reported:

A common usage pattern of mine is to download PDF's through Firefox by
clicking the link and selecting "Open with", on occasion I'd like to
keep the PDF's so use the File->Save a Copy As menu item in Evince to
save a copy in my home directory.

The files are copied with the same permissions they have when downloaded
by Firefox to tmp (r--------) - this leads to the protected badge icon
being displayed over the file in Nautilus and a file which is less
accessible (from a privileges perspective) than others created and saved
to my home directory (with the default permissions of rw-rw-r--).

I think it would be good to remain consistent with the default
permissions when effectively creating a new document rather than
maintaining the more restrictive permissions of the temporary file.
