It would be nice if, when I click on a PDF on the web and it opens in
evince, there is a button called "Save A Copy", which existed
before. I usually don't want to download and have a copy of every PDF
I look at, which is the current policy.

You are aware that to view a PDF you have to download it? I think the
stance was, if we have to download a copy of the PDF we might as well
put it somewhere the user can discover it (defaults to desktop I think)
rather than stashed away in /tmp

This is actually xpdf behaviour... It took a while to know that xpdf
already saved a copy in /tmp. Doing a right-click, then Save as..., using
the same name (no warning), this actually zeroed the file, trying to copy
over itself.
