I can't save an image with an asterisk in the filename

I can't save an image with an asterisk in the filename when saving from my Firefox browser. I used to be able to, but now any asterisk I add to the filename just vanishes like I didn't type it at all. I can change the file name in other ways, like adding words. I can still save from Chrome, so it's a Firefox issue, and a recent update. Help!!!

Firefox might be sanitizing the filename and remove some characters that are considered invalid. An asterisk in a filename can be seen as a wildcard in some cases.

I just tried to save opensuse*.jpg and it wouldn't work. Let me see what happens in linux.
