Bug Description

At the bottom of eg. http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty-updates/amd64/unity-control-center/download, there is the message

Note that in some browsers you will need to tell your browser you want the file saved to a file. For example, in Firefox or Mozilla, you should hold the Shift key when you click on the URL.

The second sentence is wrong, since Firefox handles the file fine when you click on it normally, and shift-clicking just opens a blank window and then carries on as before. Could you delete that part, and check whether the first part is still true on any modern browser too? Thanks, George Bateman.
