Details
If you select "Open Link in New Window," or "Open Link in New Tab" (or middle-click with your options set to do those) on a URL that will be externally handled (e.g., a file which will be saved or handled by a helper app), you will end up with a basically useless blank window or tab respectively, which you have to manually close to get rid of. It would be nice if Mozilla would detect that it won't actually be rendering anything for these URLs and decline to actually open the new window or tab, instead simply dropping into the helper / download manager / whatever else the user has defined. Note that this is a superset of bug 111909, which describes this behaviour specifically with regard to mailto: URLs and tabbed browsing.
