1792949 - Make sure we don't run two downloads for the same file

Status: NEW

(Firefox for Android :: Downloads, defect, P3)

Description

[Christian Sadilek [:csadilek]]

From github: https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/android-components/issues/4690.

This is a bug that I took from Fennec:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1586623

Steps to reproduce: I opened an article at sina.cn Actual results: The webpage recursively downloaded the same .APK file. When I closed the page I had over 500 downloads pending. Expected results: Firefox should have asked me if I want to download the file. Also there needs to be a way to cancel all pending downloads.

Filing this here to be sure we can avoid this situation in our new implementation.

In the original ticket, as mentioned in Sebastian's comment, Fenix is currently prompting for every download. We may need to validate whether this situation spams download prompts. We need product input in order to proceed with this ticket.
