Yes, isn't that fun?  This has been a known problem with a bug filed for 
well over a year.  Perhaps closer to a year and a half.  Not that the 
bug has been simply ignored.  It has been hashed and rehashed over and 
over.  Someone proposes a solution.  Firefox devs come back and say that 
the solution will not work in some corner case on Windows.  Someone 
proposes a solution.  Firefox devs come back and say that it will 
adversely affect some Linux users.  Someone proposes a solution.  
Firefox devs come back and say that certain MacOS users could experience 
a problem with that.  Someone proposes that in the case that there is a 
filename collision, the user might simply be prompted to decide on a 
filename. Firefox devs totally reject that idea (and rather 
vehemently).  You see, that would totally freak out the end user, and 
that is *certainly* not a good solution.

So the interim solution, for over a year, has been to leave it broken 
for everyone...
