How to stop filename append (1) for existing file during add-on that uses WebExtensions API
I have tried multiple Firefox Extensions for saving images instead of using the default Right-click "Image Save as" function, so reduce steps. All of the extensions have the same issue. When the filename already exists, there is no failure but instead a (1) is appended to the end of the file name. No message/prompt either to skip/cancel. It just silently appends. And (2) (3) and so on.
Is this a limitation of the Firefox WebExtensions API? Is it not possible to return a verbose failure for existing filenames?
