User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5a) Gecko/20030728 Mozilla Firebird/0.6.1

Firebird should run executable files such as .exe or .com files when
downloading. The "Open with" option is available, but this isn't too helpful
when the download itself is the program.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Click on the link to download any .exe file from a website.
Actual Results:
A dialog appeared asking if I wanted to save the file or open it with another
application.
Expected Results:
Firebird should have detected that the download was a full-fledged application
and allowed me to open it. Firebird should have saved the file to a temporary
cache and ran it as soon as the download was complete, like MSIE's "Run from
current location" option.
