Firefox freezes for an instant while parsing the file [to be downloaded] to external download manager, is this fixable?
I have installed a download manager software in windows. So, while downloading any file, Firefox has to pass it to that software. Meanwhile, Firefox freezes for about 10-15 seconds [or more in some occasions] and then loses responsiveness!! Is there a way to fix this? or this is a new problem?? P. S, I have been experiencing this from way back in my desktop computer for a long time.

Might be helpful if we knew which external download manager is causing that issue for you.
Are you aware of FlashGot? https://flashgot.net/
But... Aaaargh!!! my download manager doesn't work with Firefox! They say it does, but where is my Download All menu? How can I handle the tons of mp3, mpeg, jpg files that I want to download? Well, you definitely need...
Might work to cure that freezing. ??
(edit) The download manager I am using says internet download manager.
