Such a download is usually saved in an updates or updated folder in the Firefox program/application folder. You can delete this folder to cancel the download.

If files already have been downloaded then remove the files in the updates and updates\0 folder.

Mac: /Applications/Firefox.app/updates "/path_to/Firefox.app/Updated.app"
Linux: "/path_to/firefox/updated"
Windows: C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox\updates
