How do I force firefox to save file with existing name instead of adding numerical increment when file already exists in download folder?

If a file exists in designated download folder with name e.g. thefile.pdf and I try to download yet another file with source name thefile.pdf, then the name of new file changes in download folder to thename(1).pdf. How do I change that behaviour in firefox on Android platform?

HI perdja, this has definitely been asked before. I believe there is a bug for it as well. Currently there is not a feature that exists for this.
