Comment(by runa):

 The current text reads:

 {{{
 Load external content?

 An external application is needed to handle:

 NOTE: External applications are NOT Tor safe by default and can unmask
 you!

 If this file is untrusted, you should either save it to view while offline
 or in a VM, or consider using a transparent Tor proxy like Tails LiveCD
 or torsocks.

 Launch application
 Cancel
 Always launch applications from now on
 }}}

 How about the following:

 {{{
 Download this file?

 The Tor Browser Bundle is not able to handle this file. You will need
 to download it and open it with another application.

 You should be very careful when downloading files via Tor as these
 files can contain Internet resources that will be downloaded outside
 of Tor when you open them. This will reveal your real IP address.

 If you do want to download this file, it is recommended that you use
 the Tails liveCD while doing so. See https://tails.boum.org/ for more
 information.
