Yes. The evidence is clear from the Oracle page I referred you to. 
People do in fact arrange such things as links to RPMs that cannot be 
saved. Sometimes they cannot be saved at all or and sometimes what is 
saved is something other than the RPM file that seemed to be the link 
target.

But my real point was that the absence of a "Save Link As..." command on 
a link's context menu does _not_ imply that Firefox is "horribly 
broken," as you contended.
