blizzard added "remote control" into mozilla.
Assuming I'm looking at the right interface,
http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/xpfe/components/remote/public/nsIRemoteBrowserControl.idl
has saveAs(), but it doesn't take a file type.
If we don't have parity with 4.x, log a bug using
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org and add the keyword "4xp"
