Download button activates randomly
Hi, I've been experiencing quite a concerning bug (I hope) in which the Firefox Download Button Animation starts by it's self at random intervals with no warning whatsoever and no downloaded file in /Downloads.
Its been happening for a bout 2-3 weeks now I think and is beginning to worry me.
Thanks

The icon should animate only when a clip is available for download or while downloading. What there a download link on those web pages?
Isn't there anything visible if you click this highlighted icon ?

And yea when I click the button it shows the download tray as usual but there's nothing new in it...
Is this with all websites/pages, some, a few?
About how long are you on a webpage when this happens?

I don't think the website matters at all because it happens no matter what website I use. Usually on websites for a good half hour to 2 hours. Doesn't seem to be a link.
Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link}
A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?
