Public bug reported:

Using the webbrowser-app I can download any file, and will be prompted
to open in an app (if apps that support that content-type exist on the
system) or to download the file in the browser. The same behavior should
be available webapps but is not.

Steps to reproduce:
- Open Gmail webapp
- Open a message that has an attachment of a file of unsupported type (like a .tar, .click, etc)
- click on the file to download

Expected results:
- I should be prompted to open the file in supported app or to download
- If I choose download the file should be downloaded into ~/Downloads by the webbrowser-app

Actual results:
- I am told that no apps exist to support this type of file and am not allowed to download it
