When I open the nb file in the browser, for me there is one "Save" button, 
one "Save As" button, and one "Open in Mathematica" button. Maybe useful?

Best regards

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
