Hello Mozilla Support,

I am using Firefox on Android 6.0.1 (OPPO A57). I enabled the “external download manager” option in Firefox settings because I want to use 1DM (One Download Manager) to handle all file downloads.

However, when I tap on a download link in Firefox, it still uses the built-in downloader and does not give me the option to open 1DM or any external app.

Is there a way to force Firefox to launch 1DM (or any external download manager) when clicking on download links? Please guide me. If not possible, is there a version or workaround that supports this on Android 6?

Thank you!

It doesn't matter the device other people have this issue there is no way to activate the autofill for a separate password manager no matter what settings are tried for anyone no matter their phone type at least as far as Androids go

Hi Saeed,

I believe you're impacted by this bug. Could you please update your app to 140.0.3 and see if that fix this issue?
