[Bug 1065126]

I think that constant referencing to RFC is incorrect approach to this problem.
Yes, browser should adhere to RFC and it is good thing. That's why FF should popup "Opening" dialog by default for any file that is marked as "attachment".

But it must be up to user to be able to override this behavior. I don't understand why drag for years this argument for feature that is obviously should be given at user's decision! If I deliberately mark some file type to be opened automatically - why FireFox decides that for me? Why it assumes that it "knows better"? Aren't we all tired of Microsoft's strategy "we know better than you what you need"? Flexibility was always strength of FireFox, why become stubborn on this feature?
If user wants to shoot himself in the leg (like I do) - please let him do it.
