We use firefox in our company and we want to prevent firefox to open a download dialog during saving files. we want to prevent users change the name of files or rewriting an existing file during download. for this purpose, chrome has a pit is very crucial for me.olicy called "AllowFileSelectionDialogs".but firefox doesn't yet. Is there any way or trick to apply the same functionality to firefox? is there any library in firefox to be deleted and disable "save file as" functionality?

We don't currently have the ability to disable that. It's on a list of things to implement.

What you can do is force downloads to a certain place and not show the save dialog
