 Replying to [comment:1 gk]:
 > Well, how should the external app blocker kick in *without* a connection
 being established first and some indication about what kind of file it is
 that is being requested? That's important, because, as the name says this
 component is only responsible for blocking external apps from kicking in
 and handling file types the browser can't handle itself.

 Okay, this description was not well worded. I now realize this is a little
 complex, after reading the bugs related to #25773. I am most worried about
 the "Save Link As..." situation. I think I'll close this bug as WONTFIX
 because this isn't really the problem.
