The best download manager!

好

The CPU usage for this addon is crazy.
MTFK 10~20%!!! Are you mining or something?

Cannot capture downloads of files smaller than 1MB, even if I haven't turned on the option 'Don't catch downloads smaller than Mbytes'

some sites need proxy to download files. It will be cool, if addon can choose filetype, which not neccacary download with FDM

this addon is not working in my firefox on windows 11. it was working on win 10 before.

not working on mozilla as extension half good half missed downloads its messed up

The extension doesn't capture all files, it works probably only 50% of the time. I've tried changing all the options I found to no avail.

trying to download a linux iso on sourceforge and it went straight to downloads and this extension acted like it didn't even know a download existed, total fail if it never asks to download at all, it's like xtreme download manager where you have to show it the download so no automation then it's useless to me.

When running addon it has this statement as part of privacy policy:

"If you choose not to allow us to collect anonymous data, the FDM extension will be immediately removed from your browser."

This is not present on the privacy policy shared on firefox addon store.

The main issue is deception, but using such underhanded tactics is not great either. They never disclose what data will be collected or anonymized either.

Edit: found this response "We've implemented the recent anonymous data usage notification only to comply with the latest Mozilla’s requirements."

On one hand it is clearly stated that anonymous data is collected, on the other, this response implies that this is only because mozila required this statement. The only conclusion I can reach is that mozila is asking all addons to add this note no mater if they are collecting data or not, which, while possible, is hard to believe.

Edit 2: Some other comments from developers imply that this is to allow downloads (i.e. you need to send URL to server to download, etc). But all this is already called out separately and in great details outside of this mysterious anonymous telemetry. Thus, this is just necessary.

I'm reviewing the business practice of forcing users to send anonymous data in order to use the add-on. I know they keep saying "but only anonymous data is sent" but that's not the point. User data is just that. User data. Regardless of any anonymization.

Bitte!!!!!! Gibt es irgendwo????? die vorige (wunderbare) Version zum Download????????

It does not work at all. I have installed it but it seems nothing to happen when I download anithing. Firefox downloads it without using this plugin. If I open the plugin page it shows "loadong..." forever.

the extension works in conventional installations, but it does not work in flatpak.

It does not catch downloads on mac, no point in this extension
