 Isn't the URL an http:// or https:// one?

 Yeah, "Downloading" might be misleading. What I have been doing is the
 same as in #22610, loading a pdf file from the hard disk but instead of
 hitting the "Cancel" button on the external helper app I proceeded and
 tried to save that file on the hard disk somewhere else. This gets handled
 as a download in Firefox it seems with the stalling symptoms.
