When trying to download a .deb file using Epiphany, it prompts:
File Type: “Software package”.
It is unsafe to open “filename.deb” as it could potentially damage your
documents or invade your privacy. You can download it instead.
It then gives the options "save as..." and "download". To me, there is
no difference in meaning between these options. However, "download" has
no apparent effect aside from popping up a window for a split second,
while "save as..." prompts for a location in which to save the file.
I just now realized that "download" saves the file to the desktop, but
this is definitely not clear from the prompt. Both options are doing
both "downloading" the file and "saving" the file...so the different
words are not at all helpful.
In addition, I should be able to do what I want with the file; epiphany
should not second-guess my judgement by making it annoying to install
software.
