Preserve filename while downloading file in firefox
I am trying to rename the downloaded files from sql server reporting services in firefox. The default name is the actual filename.pdf or some other available options. It is working in IE and chrome..I have changed the default file name by adding "_YYYYMMDD" at the end of the file name so let's say it appears as Filename_YYYYMMDD.pdf. The solution is working in Chrome and IE's latest version. With firefox, it is however replacing "_" with "%5F" so the name appears as Filename%5FYYYYMMDD.pdf
Is there any way i can fix it in firefox? Any help on this is appreciated.

That file name come from the site your getting it from and different Browser interpret it differently. And do you click to save after clicking on the file itself? And is there a way other can test that link?
See if using a hyphen rather an underscore in the modified file name works better when editing a file name.
IOW, adding -YYYYMMDD works better.
Where are you setting the file name "Filename_YYYYMMDD.pdf"?
Is that from the server in a header like:
content-disposition: attachment; filename="Filename_YYYYMMDD.pdf"
Or on the browser side in a script or add-on?
Or by hand in the Save As dialog?
