Could you try turning off the scanWhenDone setting? Here's how:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the filter box, type or paste scan and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone to toggle its value from true to false.
What this does: Normally Firefox submits the file to your AV software for an on-demand scan. Toggling this setting turns that off. It also prevents Firefox from adding a notation to the file that the source of the file was the internet. That may change how Windows treats the file. You should ensure that your real-time AV scanning is turned on when you have this feature turned off.
Does that make any difference?
