Why is firefox automatically downloading strange files I've never seen before? (MEUIVFJ-.htm and 3tHMwYhc) They look a little untrustworthy. My download dropdown suddenly showed me that one had been downloaded, and then a while later the other one was downloaded. Are these actual Mozilla files? Or are they some kind of scam/trojan/spyware? I just realized that two were downloaded last month as well.

Did you try to download or save something beforehand or earlier in the session? That has caused unexpected html downloads for me in the past. Because I thought I was initiating a download when in fact I was just saving the download link html.

But a virus-scan of your system and Firefox profile can't hurt.
