Mozilla does not know how to handle octet-stream

I am forcing the download of a file rather than displaying it. When I do I get the message that displays:

The file '' is of type application/octet-stream, and Mozilla does not know how to handle this file type. This file is located at ...
What should Mozilla do with this file?
() open it with the default application?
() Open it with <browse>
(*) Save to disk
<OK> <Cancel>

I do not want to see this prompt. I want to skip it and go straight to the File Save As dialouge, as if I were to select the "Save to disk" option. Can someone tell me how to bypass the prompt?

THANKS ![/b]

you can't solve it, you don't have any influence on how the client browser is configured.
