Example: I download an mp3 or m3u, I want it to go to the player app.  
But I download a tar file, I want to save it.

You're saying that behavior is unreasonable? That's how all other  
browsers work.

Besides, Camino already supports temporary downloads. Go to the  
preferences->downloads page and you can set it up. It just works  
poorly. You can open everything, or save everything, and you can't  
tell it where to save it.

   Thanks,
