How to automatically shutdown computer when FireFox download completes?

Grishilde H. Johansen from Mikladalur, Denmark asked:

I do not use any extra software for managing downloads. I often download files using FireFox. Most of the download manager application provides an option for shutting down computer when download completes. Can it be achieved by using FireFox?
