: When a user clicks on the orange Download button on the torproject.org 
website, they are clearly intending to download not launch, so perhaps it is a 
usability bug in the website.  The external application popup does not occur 
when a user right-clicks the button and selects "Save Link As".

Right, but the browser doesn't know the intent of the user. It sees a
binary blop trying to load, so we intercept it to warn the user. It's
the safest path to avoid the browser automatically loading some MIME-type
and deanonymizing the user.
