How can I make the default when saving a file not to overwrite?

When I try to save a file, if the target exists, Firefox defaults to overwriting. I'd rather it default to cancel. At least it works this way in Linux. It defaults to cancelling in Windoze.

It's not a Firefox problem. It's the system that handles this. I apologize for asking.
