Details
In Apprunner, type a URL of a file on an http server that is not an html file
(such as a .exe file). The download dialog appears.
The way you tell it where to save the file is to type in a path (a unix path is
expected, by the way, with forward slashes, and with an initial slash for an
absolute path).
We need a real file picker here.

John, do we need to fix this now to make FTP download on the Mac work at all?
This is doable now that nsIFileWidget is up and running. I think we might want
to wait for M5, though.
Depends how friendly it needs to be. It's ok for programmers to use. It works
now, if you are downloading foo.hqx, and you type in something like
foo.hqx
the file will be dowloaded in apprunner's directory. If you type
/hd/foo.hqx
Then it goes where you wanted it to go (at the root of the volume hd). It would
be really helpful, though, if we populated the filename field with the leaf name
of the URL. In many cases, this would give you a sensible default. In the example
above, we could populate the field with 'foo.hqx'

The file picker is in place. It needs some cleanup (but that requires some
nsIFileWidget fixes).
verified that the file picker is in place, and does need to be cleaned up on:
