I have not seen that behavior in any browser. Neither konqueror, opera,
firefox... not even in IE :-)

Coomon options are: open the file with the selected application without
saving it *or* save the file where you want.

You can change that.

Please note that firefox is not a kde application, so it handles mime types
on its own, but this can be configured.

Go to edit / preferences / programs and set the desired default applications
at your convenience.
