Don't run Mozilla as root, and you won't see these. If you are running 
Mozilla as root, you're probably running X as root as well? Not a good 
idea. Routinely logging in as root isn't a good idea. Tripwire monitors 
/root/* by default, because normally changes there are not expected.

Are you or some process creating these files? I don't have a 
/usr/lib/python2.2/test/ directory here. Tripwire should monitor /usr/lib/ 
for unexpected changes. That's it's purpose in life. If these are files 
you are creating, perhaps consider doing it in /home/some_non_root_user/

If these files are supposed to have changed, and don't change all the 
time, you can update the database, and they will be accepted on the next 
check. Once accepted, tripwire will no longer complain about them.
Something like:
'tripwire --update -a -r /var/lib/tripwire/report/name_of_report'
