Free Download Manager & FF v146.0

I use Free Download Manager v3.97 along with FF Free Download Manager extension v3.22 to download files from Easynews.com. This issue may have nothing to do with Firefox except that the problem started a couple of days ago about the time 1.46.0 was installed.

When I right-click to download a video file, FDM is configure to automatically start the download. But downloads are not starting automatically now. FDM just shows the download with an hour glass figure. I have to manually stop then start the download.

Window 11 PC.

Hi,

I'm afraid that's the kind of issue that needs to be reported to the extension developers. It may have appeared after a Firefox update if there were some changes around download handling, though I can't confirm or deny that. Anyway, now it's up to the extension developers to issue an update/fix.

To report the issue, please head to addons.mozilla.org, find your extension, on its page click Support site / Homepage and then follow the instructions on the opened website.
