I started to download a videosession with the Downloadhelper-extension. After updating my FF to the latest version, the downloads don't show up in the downloadtab anymore.

Now I simply want to stop these downloads as they are no longer needed. So I deinstalled the extension and restarted FF....weird...after a few seconds the download pops up again and continues automatically.

If nothing helps, I have to deinstall FF...

I hope anyone can help me with this issue.

Did you check the Downloads folder in the Downloads Manager (Library) or on the about:downloads page for unfinished downloads?
