Sometimes notification about downloading appears in notification bar but no files were downloaded. I don't know what conditions needed to this, but the problem is for maybe a year. It stops after killing the process but suddenly apears after some time. Device: Xiaomi Redmi 4x Android version: 7.1.2

Hi

What is the extension of the file that you are trying to download and what is the address of the website that you are trying to download it from?

I even didn't download any files, this is happening just for no reason.

Try to clear your browser data

go to MIUI settings > Click on "Application" > select "Installed Application" > find "Firefox" > select "Clear Data" > Clear "cache" and Clear "Storage"

I suspect there is a malicious advertisement notification that triggers the downloading.

Could try and see if it is resolved.
