When I download a pdf-file the filename is with superfluous characters as %20%
See image: on the left side the filename which is automatically given. On the right side how the real filename has to be. In other browsers I don't have this problem.

Here is the image
%20 is the escape code for a space character, so you can see this %20 in case a file name contains one or more space. I'm not sure whether Firefox is supposed to show the %20 as part of the file name when you save a file.
How are these files send?
Is that via a content-disposition header or are you saving the files as a normal link (Save Link As)?
Just to be sure that an extension isn't interfering:
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
- switch to the DEFAULT theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Appearance
- do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Safe Mode start window
Thank you for your help, but it didn't work. The %20 are still there. I turned add-ons off. Save mode did't help... This is a file I downloaded witch Chrome: NS wil netwerk uitbreiden met regiolijnen.pdf This file I downloaded with Firefox: NS%20wil%20netwerk%20uitbreiden%20met%20regiolijnen.pdf
I can confirm this.
The Network Monitor shows:
Content-Type: application/pdf Content-Disposition: attachment;filename=NS%20wil%20netwerk%20uitbreiden%20met%20regiolijnen.pdf
I don't how to prevent Firefox from showing the escaped file name.
