 tor browser 7.5 seems to understand how to truncate a title down to 255
 bytes for a filename, but then fucks it all up by adding a .html extension
 and not realizing that it's 260 bytes and then silently botching the
 download
 example:
 https://twitter.com/markpopham/status/964157761427787777
 load it up, click save, then check the browser console:
 Unix error 36 during operation remove on file /tmp/dame judi dench's
 secret woodland on Twitter: "Every time another one of these mass
 shootings happen - right when the Republicans start telling us that the
 answer is more guns, guns for everyone, guns for teachers, guns for
 students - I think about Chris.html (File name too long)
