Is there a way when saving a file to have duplicates rename themselves automatically to example(1)?

Switched from Chrome recently, and with that if you go to save a file and you already have a file with that name it will automatically rename it to whatever it was with a number in parentheses afterwards [so something like funnypic15(1).jpg]

Firefox just gives you a warning that a file with that name already exists after you try to save it. Anyway to get Firefox to behave like Chrome about this?

I don't know if there is an option for this. The file rename is a system element. Go to the Mozilla Add-ons Web Page {web link} (There’s a lot of good stuff here) and search for what you want.
