This interface is used to display a confirmatino dialog before launching a "helper app" to handle content not handled by Mozilla. Usage: Clients (of which there is one: the nsIExternalHelperAppService implementation in mozilla/uriloader/exthandler) create an instance of this interface (using the contract ID) and then call the show() method. The dialog is shown non-modally. The implementation of the dialog will access methods of the nsIHelperAppLauncher passed in to show() in order to cause a "save to disk" or "open using" action.

Methods
Invoke a save-to-file dialog instead of the full fledged helper app dialog.

@param aLauncher

@param aSuggestedFileExtension
Sugested file extension
@param aForcePrompt
Set to true to force prompting the user for thet file
name/location, otherwise perferences may control if the user is

nsILocalFile
promptForSaveToFile(in nsIHelperAppLauncher aLauncher, in nsISupports aWindowContext, in wstring aDefaultFileName, in wstring aSuggestedFileExtension, in boolean aForcePrompt)
Show confirmation dialog for launching application (or "save to

@param aLauncher
A nsIHelperAppLauncher to be invoked when a file is selected.
@param aWindowContext
Window associated with action.
@param aReason
One of the constants from above. It indicates why the dialog is
