It seems that Firefox has a preference on its about:config page called browser.safebrowsing.appRepURL which, according to the author of the article, is responsible for sending data about the downloaded files to Google. This can be fixed just by removing the value (by double clicking on it and deleting all the text inside) and then restarting the browser.
I just checked if my Abrowser has this value set, and it does. So I just fixed it here. Just heard about this on a Diaspora post, here is the link of the post (in Brazilian Portuguese): https://diasporabr.com.br/posts/216539 And here is the link of the article (in Spanish): http://www.softzone.es/2014/07/27/evita-que-firefox-envie- informacion-de-las-descargas-google/ Best regards, ADFENO.
