How do I eliminate the message "If you exit now, 1 download will be canceled. Are you sure you want to exit?" when I close Firefox?

When I try to close Firefox, an error box pops up with the message "If you exit now, 1 download will be canceled. Are you sure you want to exit?" I click on "Cancel 1 remaining download." (The other option is "Don't exit.") But the next time I try to close Firefox, the message pops up again. What can I do?
