The problem turned out to be firefox. When i downloaded a particular
file using firefox the permission of only my home directory was
changing and I wasn't able to save the file. I was able to download the
same file using epiphany which is weird.

Have you looked in the cron files to see if you have an errant chmod
command running? Is this just on the home directory itself, or is it
recursive? Does it happen with other files/directories? Does it happen
on certain days? Any other general info on it would be helpful.
