The download manager should prompt the user if they are currently downloading 1
one (something.exe) and then try to download another file (something.exe)
stating that there is currently another file being downloaded called
something.exe.  Would you like to cancel that download and overwrite with this
one.  If the user selects Y, then the download proceeds as normal.  If the user
selects N, then they are prompted back for the file name dialog.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
This is a WONTFIX bug. The Firefox devs decided to implement and automatic
renaming scheme instead of prompting user to change the name.

So, if you try to download something like foo.doc somewhere where foo.doc
already exists, it'll save as foo-1.doc.
