Hi. I use Firefox for Android. In settings, there is an option called "external download manager" (an approximate translation from my language; framed on the screenshot anyway). And I can't resolve the difference whether I turn it on or not. What does this affect? Thanks in advance!

You need to have external download app installed on your phone to use it.

Is there a specific external download manager that integrates with firefox android better than the rest?
