So my nuisance work flow is: - copy url from browser line into clipboard, - switch to a terminal, - touch $(sanitize-clipboard-url), ;; hack also puts clean name-string back in clipboard - switch to browser - delete undesired file name string from prompt by pasting in the clean name string - click save-as I would really like Mozilla to solve this with configurable sanitization options for the file name. Especially if I am looking at a page with an URL that has weird non-ascii/utf-8 characters besides spaces. But until Mozilla offers that, could GNU web pages have some kind of alias link on them with a sanitized name to do save-link-as (not plain save-as) with, so as to get a clean name?
