I suggested a more general solution in bug 185618 comment 61 (about
adding an option to render content in Firefox whenever "Save As" comes
up immediately).

I suggest using an error/info page for content of a type for which there
is no handler or for content for which the handler fails, so anytime
Save As comes up there is some content behind it.  In the case of an
unknown type, the error/info page would appear as a placeholder, which
would prevent unknown types from cutting off user activity, and make
room for a separate "Reinterpret Content" sheet with which the user
could override the provided content-type to one which Firefox can
render.
