You can make the window that appears when you try to save a webpage as a PDF editable. This is necessary because webpages with long names, such as medical titles, exceed the character limit on mobile devices, causing the download to fail. When you try to download a webpage with a short name as a PDF, the download will succeed. Please add the ability to edit the file name before downloading as soon as possible. Thank you.

Hi,

The people who answer questions here, for the most part, are other users volunteering their time (like me), not Mozilla employees or developers. If you want to leave feedback for developers, you can go to this link. Your feedback gets collected by a team of people who read it and gather data about the most common issues.

You can also file a bug report or feature request. See File a bug report or feature request for Mozilla products for details.

I added a reference to this support thread to an open bug:

1938037 - Save website as PDF: Allow the file name to be changed

However, that is a "Request for Enhancement." You could open a new bug reporting it as a defect and giving an example URL for testing, since that might get more attention.

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi

I suggest selecting "Firefox for Android" and under Component, "Downloads".
