Firefox opens the download window multiple times as I'm typing in a query on Google.
I can't get through typing in a query on Google without Firefox opening the box that would appear if I'd clicked on a "download" link. It opens a download called "search." It happens multiple times as I type in my query as Google Instant searches for it. It makes me unable to keep typing until I click cancel on these windows, sometimes up to 30 times.

Hi
Please check if this happens in Safe Mode.
Troubleshooting Extensions and Themes
Safe mode disables the installed Extensions, and themes (Appearance) in Tools (Alt + T) > Add-ons. Hardware acceleration is also temporarily disabled - the manual setting is Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Use hardware acceleration when available. Options > Advanced. All these settings/add-ons can also be individually or collectively disabled/enabled/changed in Firefox normal mode to check if an extension, theme or hardware acceleration is causing issues.
