I downloaded a few files from youtube thru FG and am getting strange characters in File names. I tried a sample today here.The file gets saved as

.
In Linux systems the same file refuses to get copied to a pen drive etc.

I cannot reproduce.
Are you using the built-in download manager?
Does it happen on a clean profile?

I (kind of) get the same with Net Transport.
There seems to be Unicode characters in the "name".

Net Transport returns the file name "videoplayback", but in its Properties, "comment" section, it display the "pretty" name, complete with some funky (box-like looking as it is) characters.

Using the built in download manager. By the way , when you open the (youtube) link , you will find the site name (at the top beside the FF icon --NOT THE ADDRESS BAR) exactly as the file name I mentioned. I could attach a snap , but it is tiring to hotlink....Can you consider image uploads for reasonable users..

Fne.Are we near a solution or would we have to do with Martian names?

In order to fix it, I need to figure out a way to differentiate between legitimate high unicode characters (like Cyrillic or Chinese) and non-printable characters like these.

Should be fixed in latest development build, thanks.
