Hi Paul,

oh, nice.  that would be much better than the wget behavior:
    fu.tar
    fu.tar.1
    fu.tar.2

But can Firefox only do that because it's coming up with the `.gif'
suffix in the first place as opposed to being presented with a foo.gif
and having to recognise where it insert the increment?  Not all files
have suffixes but some contain dots so it isn't just `before the final
dot'.

Cheers, Ralph.
