Please be a bit more specific about the Steps to Reproduce. It's unclear when
"it" is the file you have saved, and when "it" is the Download Manager or an
entry displayed in the Download Manager, and whether by "delete" you mean the
Download Manager function "remove" which removes an entry from being listed
there, or the operating system function of deleting the actual file from your disk.

I think I am experiencing a similar/the same problem

When an incomplete download is removed from download manager, both
<filename>.part AND <filename> are deleted.

Even if firefox did not create <filename>.
