Interviewed by CNN on 19/01/2013 17:53, Tom told the world:
When I download an .html page seamonkey uses no longer the filename in the URL 
since V2.15 but it uses the description of the page as filename.

Can I change this that it is like before?


Well, this change in behavior was documented in bug 254139:
<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=254139>

Thank you for the info.

Apparently this change has been requested for years,

Not from me.

and Mozilla was the
only major browser who did *not* do this.

That's why I like and use Seamonkey

The reasoning is that in most
cases the page <title> field is more descriptive than the filename

When I download pages from online magazines or newspapers the filename is often descriptive. Otherwise I 
change it to a descriptive name. I do not like filenames with " " instead of "_" or 
"-".



There isn't a pref to turn it off, but Gavin Sharp made an extension for
people who prefer the old way (linked from Comment #71 on the bug thread):

<https://github.com/gavinsharp/SaveAsFilename>

How can I install this?

It would be nice when a future version of SeaMonkey has the feature to toggle 
between filename and description.

I prefer the traditional way.
