Downloads recently started not finishing and not clearing from the Download Status Bar.
Just yesterday, while download something from GamersGate.com, the download wasn't showing the correct amount of time remaining and was just being weird. So I tried cancelling it, and it wouldn't clear. I tried restarting Firefox, redownloading the file, and even deleting what I had downloaded. But every time I started Firefox, it said there were downloads remaining, and when closing Firefox, it asked if I wanted to cancel the downloads. This has started happening with every download now, no matter the size or the website. I have noticed some of the downloads even finish (but it doesn't register as finished in the Download Status Bar). Any suggestions.
By the way, I did look up how to delete the download file from my Profile to clear what's there, but I'd like to know if there is a fix for this.
