I think you're missing the point. Firefox behaves correctly, OpenOffice probably doesn't. The fact that other applications might behave wrongly as well doesn't make it less wrong.
But apart from that: have you actually checked how other applications behave? Gedit for example already allows to edit a read-only file just fine. It correctly warns that changes cannot be saved and offers to save the file under a new name. -- Should make downloaded files-read only https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/90378 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
