Perhaps upstream will not want to change this behaviour.
That is fine.

Then firefox should at least tell the user what it is doing!

And it should certainly not remove existing files if it is not going
to overwrite them.

When I saved an email attachment .bash_completion,
1) it removed my existing .bash_completion (yes, it prompted me to replace
and I accepted)
2) it saved bash_completion (without the dot)
3) it clearly misinformed me about above.
