[Bug 1377029] [NEW] Default filenames contain colons, making it hard to share screenshots

 

Public bug reported:

Colons aren't allowed on "Microsoft-based" filesystems (NTFS, VFAT), and
quite a few websites also don't allow colons in filenames of uploaded
files (because downloading a file with such a name on a Windows system
is, apparently, problematic).
