This patch does not confirm before a download. Wrong patch?

In any case, we do not want to confirm before a download. See the following bugs:
Bug 573982 - make 'open' the default action for click on links/documents 
Bug 592902 - Provide a way to cleanup or stop accidental downloads
Bug 594504 - Show a message to explain why downloads with no helper apps were cancelled
