A failed download seems stuck in the downloaded files list - can't delete

I tried to download a PDF file, but the download failed. However, Mozilla still thinks it's downloading, shows the download meter (stuck on about 10%), and shows the file in the downloads list, even though I have deleted it from the list ("Clear downloads"). Clicking the "X" next to the file name also does nothing. What's up?

Oops. Close Mozilla. Restart. File gone. SMFH.
