Every time I clean my downloads folder I find a few "(1)" strings appended to several duplicates I've downloaded by mistake. Mostly due to the UX issue you mentioned but I'm also mildly ADHD.
Kinda makes you wonder why browsers don't have a built in (content based) deduping feature. I'm sure some users actually desire this behavior now that they're used to it.
Can anyone recommend a Firefox extension that can dedupe and clean your downloads for you?

Why not just use a general deduping utility and unleash it on your Downloads folder? That will cover files that have been removed from the browser's downloads list, too.
