New description:

 running the decloak page http://decloak.net/decloak.html
 attempts to download a Word document in firefox.
 when i clicked "open with abiword" which was selected for me,
 the document opened and decloak was able to get my ip address from
 abiword.
 suggest adding a leak warning when people click downloadable links
 or maybe (another option?) disable opening external applications or
 plugins upon download.
