FF3 went to the gnome type file save as dialog which doesn't all
you to pick a previous file name, you can only pick the directory to save

and (2) retype the entire name without error simply to change a single
character.

Sincerely it is annoying with even very small set of files, not to mention
daily use. I'm not sure what Mozillians thought when they changed save
dialog.

Just as workaround you can use copy-paste.
There are 2 different for Linux:

1) keyboard: highlight text than ctrl-c as copy -> ctrl-v as paste

2) mouse: highlight text as copy -> middle mouse button as paste

Keyboard copy-paste buffer is changed only after ctrl-c, while mouse
copy-paste buffer is changed every time something is highlighted.

I use keyboard to remember string that doesn't change, and add whatever I
want
with mouse.

So your staff can ctrl-c
"89CV0010_MyClient_v_TheDefendant_RespMotionSummaryJudgment_Exh01.pdf"
which will on ctrl-v automatically change how to store file, and then
change "01" to "02" etc. Select from drop down list folder and click button
to print it.

It is not the same as old box, but it is not much more typing either.


I solved it!
