I am extremely frustrated with a long-standing Firefox issue that makes professional work impossible. Every time I paste an image from the clipboard (Ctrl+V), Firefox renames it to a generic 'image.png'.

When trying to upload multiple screenshots at once to services like Google Gemini or Discord, they are flagged as duplicates, and the upload fails. My screenshot tools (ShareX, Flameshot) generate unique filenames, but Firefox intentionally strips them away.

Why is there no setting in about:config to allow unique naming (like timestamped names)? This 'feature' feels like a bug from 2005. Stop oversimplifying the browser at the expense of power users. Fix the clipboard filename handling or give us a preference to change it!
