Goals
- Replace the download manager window with a panel, and have a better download progress indicator

- Improve MIME type default behaviors, download instead of asking when safe, move “advanced” options to “Save As”
- Make common file types/protocols in the Applications pref pane more accessible
- Unify security questions on executables where we can (ie. move to OS-level where supported)
Secondary goals:
