File attachments in MATLAB Answers open as links

When I try to download file attachments included with posts to MATLAB answers they instead open in my Chrome Web Browser. If they are text files I can still copy and paste them into a new document and then save them as a file, but for non text files, e.g. .mat files I can not see or use them at all. My OS is Windows 7, and as I mentioned my web browser is Google Chrome. I saw an earlier question which described the same problem back in 2015, https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/245817-forum-file-attachments-broke, but it wasn't clear to me what the solution if any was, from this thread.
Maybe there is something simple I am misunderstanding about how to use the MATLAB answers site.
If anyone knows, please let me know how I can download file attachments in MATLAB Answers rather than have them open in my web browser.

Indeed there was a problem with firefox where mat files (and possibly other types) always ended up being saved with a .txt extension. Indeed it was started by Madhan and I was the one saying that it had to do with incorrect mine type. I've reported it directly to the Answer team and it appears to be fixed now.
As for reporting bugs with the forum, the answer wish list and bug reports is probably the best place as indeed the Answer devs do read it. Individual posts may work as well but they may get overlooked. If one of the CAB members spot the post they may point the devs at it. Raising a bug report through a service request should also work.
Thanks Rik for starting a new wish list, the current one was so unwieldy that I didn't bother opening it anymore.

You need to click with the right button of the mouse the link and then click in "Save link as".

Nope. That is how you save a file. Just right click. I sometimes forget to do that myself.
