Invisible video download in the background will not cancel or go away even after closing, shutting down, uninstalling/re-installing?

I tried downloading a video the other night but it never showed up in my downloads window/tab. I wanted to cancel it but could not because its not there to cancel but I do see the progress in the icon background in my windows task bar. To cancel I figured I would just close Firefox and re-open but it restarted the download again when I loaded Firefox back up. I restarted my computer and still, there it was restarting the download in the background. I uninstalled/reinstalled Firefox and yet it was still there when I loaded the browser up again. It is clearly trying to download in the background but have found o way of getting to it to cancel it. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

Mozilla Firefox has the option to resume downloads if the program is shut down while one is in progress. Did you try <Control> J ?

Go to the Mozilla Add-ons Web Page {web link} (There’s a lot of good stuff here) and search for download managers, and download.status.
