The Linux versions of Firefox have been named differently ("x86_64" vs
"i686") for a long time, so it should be easy enough to name the Windows
versions.

I made a script some years ago to download both the Linux and Windows
versions (plus their checksums and its signature) all at once from their
proper FTP directories. It takes a FF version number (e.g. "60.9.1"),
and renames everything to make the files much more uniform and readable:

  -rw-r--r-- 1 USER users      836 Sep  2 04:56 SHA512SUMS-FF-60.9.0-esr.txt.asc
  -rw-r--r-- 1 USER users   797352 Sep  2 04:56 SHA512SUMS-FF-60.9.0-esr.txt
  -rw-r--r-- 1 USER users 36428296 Sep  2 04:58 Firefox-Setup-60.9.0-esr-32.exe
  -rw-r--r-- 1 USER users 39272200 Sep  2 04:58 Firefox-Setup-60.9.0-esr-64.exe
  -rw-r--r-- 1 USER users 53465985 Sep  2 04:56 firefox-60.9.0-esr-64.tar.bz2
  -rw-r--r-- 1 USER users 55777734 Sep  2 04:56 firefox-60.9.0-esr-32.tar.bz2

I have attached my Perl script: it will undoubtedly will need some
changes for your environment (e.g. USER, maybe a proxy and maybe even
translate to Powershell?).
