Ant Video Downloader does have the ability to increment filenames so I would try either disabling the add-on or running Firefox in Safe Mode

To disable the add on:

  • Firefox in top left corner>Add-ons>Click Extensions on the left>Hit disable under "Ant Video Downloader"

To run Firefox in Safe Mode:

  • Firefox in top left corner>Help>Restart with Add-ons Disabled

For more information about Safe Mode refer to this article:
