Is there a way of renaming files AS you download them (as in IE where you type the name into the dialog box as you save)?

I save batches of records from an info source and need to give them memorable names as I download them, so that I can find the correct record again easily. Currently the system just calls them, e.g. wrlb, wrlb[2], wrlb[3]. When I used IE, I could type a filename into the dialog box as I saved, but Firefox doesn't seem to have any option to rename. Can anyone point me to a solution?
