Print web page to default pdf printer w/ page name as file name of .pdf

I want to switch from Chrome 74.0.3729.169 to Firefox 67.0 on my Debian Linux machine.

On Chrome, printing a web page to a .pdf file, with the page name automatically used as the .pdf file name is trivial -- it goes to the default printer (in my case, "save as pdf").

Workflow -- browse page, [ctrl-P], destination is automatically set to my "save as PDF' default printer, [save], new box allows me to change destination directory or file name (not required), [save] and I'm done. Very simple -- [ctrl-P], [save], [save] except when I want to change name, destination or option.

I do this very frequently. I've done a bunch of searching and I can't seem to find a way/add-ons that would allow me to have an equivalently simple workflow in Firefox. I do not want to have to type in the file name every time; that is a show stopper.

On Chrome, I use the "PDF Viewer" and "Print Friendly & PDF" ("Print Friendly and PDF any Webpage") extensions. The second extension is only used on some web pages. Most are printed with ctrl-p.

Can anyone suggest procedures and/or extensions that would allow me to have an equivalently simple workflow on FF?
