Firefox v142.0
Using Firefox I tried 3 times to download an app update file but it failed each time. By 'failed' I mean it tried to download the file but the downloaded file was zero bytes and would not launch. I had to use Vivaldi browser to download the file and it worked. A Firefox 'Download' problem?
Although the app update failed to download using FF the app download still shows in FF 'Downloads' list and a Download popup appears at every launch of Firefox.
This happens even though I have clicked on 'Clear Downloads' and it disappears from the screen but it reappears at next FF launch session. I have also tried 'Delete' downloads as well but same result.
I have cleared Browsing and Download history' but it still happens.
Is anyone else seeing this behaviour? Is there a workaround/fix?
