A wonderful feature in 4.x (which I'm just now migrating to firefox) 
was the automatic save of the URL in the file comments.  

The 4.x solution -- save the title in the filename and the 
URL in the comments -- was much better than current Mozilla.  

I see that there has been discussion on what filename to save 
(https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=173982).

The current solution is the worst of all possible worlds.  24dowd 
is not a very useful filename (the title "Cooking His Own Goose" 
is much more descriptive), while "show_bug.cgi.html" is rather 
hopeless, instead of "Bug 173982 Allow different default file names 
when saving."

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. load page
2. save as
3. 
Actual Results:  
in 4.9x, a nice filename "Bug 173982 Allow different default file names when saving"
with the URL "https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=173982" in the 
file comments field.

in firefox, no comments, with the ugly, duplicative, and unusable filename 
"show_bug.cgi.html".

Expected Results:  
same as 4.x
