completely agreed.  Saving isn't nearly as awful as telling firefox to use a 
particular app to open a file.  Since most of said apps live in a community 
of hundreds or thousands of other "friends", simply telling firefox to open 
the unknown file-type in kate takes forever!  CLUE: Let me type in the 
location, and maybe even the full file name (since I'd rather not watch while 
the dialog fills with the contents of /usr/bin)...
