Unless the users internet options have been changed, There would be a
prompt. Or if the link was using a custom protocal such as the myapp://, I
suppose this could get around the prompts as well.

As I'm reading it this is normal.  The file format may be known but the file
itself is "unknown" - it could pose a security risk.

The user is always given the option to ignore the download, open it
immediately or save it for later (or for virus checking).

What behavior are you seeing in the other browsers?  Are they opening the
file directly (which seems reckless to me)?
