Hi
i was unable to replicate this. I tested it with ubuntu 18.04 64bit and the latest firefox release 68.0.2
attached is an image of the print to file screen.
please download Firefox Nightly from here: https://nightly.mozilla.org/ and retest the problem.
If you still have the issue please create a new profile, you have the steps here:https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles?redirectlocale=en-US&redirectslug=Managing-profiles#w_starting-the-profile-manager
Lastly test if the issue is reproducible in safe mode, here is a link that can help you:

I believe our linux print-to-PDF "File:" box just reuses whatever the last filename you chose (with an initial default of "~/mozilla.pdf").
It indeed would be nicer to generate a name based on the page title. This is tracked in bug 155992.
