Absolutely. Further, I don't think *anyone* will complain about the
File Transfer "Open" feature as I'm convinced the only reason anyone
complains about the browser preference is because they were used to
opening links in new tabs and don't like that it's now one step
harder.

We should make a rule "existing users aren't able to complain about
changes in features or preferences." Undoubtedly they prefer to defend
what they're used to other than what's best. ;)
