Automatically Downloaded .htm File

Good evening everyone,
As indicated in the title, a rather strange file with a .htm extension has been automatically downloaded via my browser (Firefox) without knowing where it came from. Here is a more detailed screenshot below.

If it contains absolutely nothing when I open it, is there still a risk of infection?

Hello
No idea why this issue happened, which existed in memory several years ago...
But I recommend fixing your Firefox from the menu (3 _ ) then Help, then More Troubleshooting Information.
"Clear the cache" and also "Repair"
Be careful, I recommend having an account on Firefox and enabling sync to avoid losing information in Firefox.Otherwise, make backups first!!
See you later

Hello.
If I believe your screenshot, this file no longer exists, so I don't see the problem.

A hello, a response, a thank you are always appreciated.-
I indeed deleted this one.
Given the extension, it seems to be a corrupted .html file, but since nothing happened when I clicked on it, I'm "afraid" that it might be another type of extension disguised as an executable.
Well, I see that like many, you want to inspect your PC.
Download FRST.
Once downloaded save it on the desktop then right-click on FRST and choose Run as administrator and you will see this:
Wait until the message the tool is ready to function appears then click on Analyze
Warning, wait for the messages indicating that the analysis is complete to appear.
At the end of the analysis, you will have two text files on the desktop FRST and Addition.
Then send the FRST and ADDITION reports to https://www.cjoint.com/ then provide the two links generated by https://www.cjoint.com/ in your response.
For safety. ;)

No infection, just orphaned/obsolete processes, to delete them:
