This has happened here too. It's really annoying and there is no way to prevent the download, as far as I can see in preferences. Because we are using Macs I don't think it's an issue just bin the stuff. But it is a surprise that a download can begin without any other action than navigating to a web page. Where are the interweb vigilantes when you need em. It's a bit like someone dropping something unsavoury through your letterbox, stop it it is very rude.
