Dear group,

There is a strange behavior (correct, but not user-friendly in my opinion)
when one has the new Mathematica browser plugin installed, and wants to
download example notebooks from the Wolfram Library Archive.
See for example here: http://library.wolfram.com/infocenter/Courseware/7800/

When one clicks on the link to download the .nb file, the file will open in
the browser plugin, not with the Mathematica application itself. To avoid
this I would normally just right-click on the link, and choose "Save link
as...". But that only provides access to the link-IMAGE, not to the notebook
behind it.

This is the same behavior in Chrome and Firefox.

Very annoying.

Thomas
