Firefox is renaming all downloaded file names with the same name. How do I get the original file name to persist after download?

This setting is in the header of the download request, you would have to edit the headers coming in. Since it is controlled by the server, I do not think this is an easy solution.

You may be experiencing this bug in case a Content-Disposition header is used.

  • bug 1180126 - Content-Disposition: inline; filename= doesn't work with Save As

A possible workaround is to open the image in a tab and use "Save Page As" to save the image.
