so i filled in the form it took forever and then the SUBMIT button did not work. here is my complaint/suggestion for improvement

hi i have linuxmint 16 and 17, on 16 firefox is ver 30.0. TWO "problems" -1- (real problem) when saving a webpage with ctrl-s, and hitting "save", i get NO indicator that

  i am trying to write a file to a directory i dont have permission for. the screen LOOKS like the
  save happened, but looking in the directory shows no file made, and i see 
  NO ERROR MESSAGE fromFIREFOX

-2- problem/MAJOR annoyance. when saving webpages that people have named with special characters

  (linux filenames (can but shouldnt) have & ' " ? / * ! ` : < > | { } (etc)), firefox names the file as-is.
  (and windows filenames shouldnt/cant have / \ : * ? " < > | ).  
  This causes a problem when i dual-boot (windows then CANT access files with special chars)
  SO i have to boot linux, rename the file, then boot windows (if i wanna use the file in windows)
   idea for fix: either just delete the offending chars from the filename or replace with (maybe)
   underscore singlealphacharacter please DONT USE percent number number number as THAT
   is a hassle to type, and it unncessesarily lenghens the filename.
   suggested mappings, change & to _a  < to _l  > to _g  | to _p
   (read in your mind as under-ampersand, under-lesshtna, under-pipe, ...)
   here are URLs for a two sample pages named this way
