i think i consider this a bug. If I click on a link I shouldn't see two choices one of which is ambiguous. According to #mozillazine Save As shouldn't appear. <q classs=imo>if we make it appear it should be Save Document As or something</q> For now i'm reopening and sending to UID the closest i can find are: bug 62155 change Save As to Save Page As in context menus bug 67544 "Save As.." should be removed from context menu for image URLs

(Bug submitter) I would recommend "Save Current As", to stress that it then is the current page your saving (even though you clicked on a link.
