Steps to reproduce:
- Go to any webpage
- Hit Ctrl-p or Menu > Print
- Select "Print to file"
Actual results:
The proposed filename is the last filename used or "mozilla.pdf" by default
Expected results:
The proposed filename should be related to the page being printed. e.g. the <head><title>, or <meta property "og:title">, or maybe the first <H1> or even the first "words" that appears in the page?
This is what tools like MS Word or Google Docs do when faced with a new document with no name. This is very useful and very relevant. This also allows for batch saves.
The current behaviour is:
- very dangerous (overwrite previous content)
- very annoying (manually copy the title)

Hi,
This issue is the same with the following: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=155992 , so I will mark this accordingly as duplicate.
Thanks for your report.
