[Bug 1354391] Re: Can't download random files

 

That would require the browser to advertise itself as a content handler
for any type of file, which as a consequence would also show it as a
handler when trying to download a file from another application.

In any case we’ll need design guidance, adding an ubuntu-ux task.
