Have you tried using Save-As instead?

I believe the trouble is that Firefox doesn't make it easy for extensions
to tell if the website is trying to get you to run an external application
vs just trying to give you a file to download.

But I'll turn the question around on you: which trac entry on
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/report/14
did you report your issue on? If it's not on the bugtracker it's nowhere.
