I cannot upload a file com.xyz.app##20170504.war to Apache Tomcat manager. Firefox just won't take a it as a file. Is this something we can fix? I run OpenSuse LEAP42.2 (KDE) and Firefox 52. I believe I have the same problem in CentOS KDE too.

You can try to escape the ## as %23%23 or change these characters to something else (_). The hash is best avoided as this is normally used as a separator for an anchor.
