os767 and Firefox-6 activity
start firefox
click on a file link to download
exit firefox after
left a gray circle

(Actually, it almost always leaves behind one
or more circles but I have not done exhaustive

an understanding of how the circle gets there
to begin with (what is being used to trigger
the circle's appearance)...
