Working great! I went through most of the available download mangers for FF yesterday and only this one properly worked for me. Even through it requires a standalone tool to be installed (Free Download Manager), but it fixed continuation of downloads from unstable hostings for me.

    Will not install if you choose not to allow data collection.

    Forces you to opt into their "anonymous" data collection and if you decline, it uninstalls itself. Utter bullshit, if you ask me. Pay for IDM or Jdownloader with the adfree installer instead and look up how to disable the ads in it after.

    Declining the data collection = plugin gets uninstalled... Way to force people to agree to be able to continue to use your "product".. yeah I've read your explanation as to "why" but that doesn't justify it imo.. just point people to a github and let them install from a file instead, and tell mozilla to go suck it

    Hello! We’re sorry for the inconvenience caused by the new data‑transfer consent prompt. Per Mozilla’s latest guidelines, extensions must now request your explicit permission before passing download information to the FDM application, which is why you’re seeing this screen. We understand extra prompts can be frustrating. Thank you for your understanding, and please let us know how we can make this smoother for you.

    Right know as I'm typing this, the extension and the application work perfect, great new design, useful features, no cpu problems, no capture problems or anything else. I have no idea what some people talk about in the reviews, if you installed it and you have issues with the app or extension, it's most likely from your side, I'm completely okay with it, so if anyone looks for a more humane like review with details and not like bots, here's mine.
    also don't just act like bots and write a straight up bad review, they have a great support, don't be lazy and reach to them.

    Became useless. There is an annoying 5 min delay to open the dialog box after clicking a link.

    1 Star, because if you don't accept the anonymous data collection it won't install. Removed and reported.

    be aware when you allow the anonymous data collection, they will steal your cookies = your logged in accounts for all the websites.
