Latest Firefox 4 as of today (3/29/11), updated from 3.6.16. OS is XP pro SP3 retail. Same problem on two identical systems, no such issue with 3.6.16, or any other version of Firefox I've used.

Ok, so here I am answering my own question. Solution:

  1. about:config
  2. search for flashcount to locate browser.download.manager.flashCount
  3. set value to 0

Issue goes away. More information available here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Download_Manager_preferences
