Every time I start FF it wants to download the same file (VLC installation). I don't remember if I stopped while downloading it the first time, but I have now downloaded it 6 times.

Next time I start FF it still wants to download it?

Have you cleared it in the download manager? https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Downloads%20window?s=download&r=0&e=es&as=s

Yes, I've cleared download manager. I forgot to mention I have Download Statusbar 0.9.10 installed , but I've tried disable it and the problem is still there.

Try to delete your downloads.sqlite in your profile folder. Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data

Make sure that you haven't set the download page as a home page.

It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.

Delete the sessionstore.js [2] file and possible sessionstore-##.js [3] files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.

Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).
