PLEASE put up all FDM and Firefox problems here!

When I click a link FDM opens, but it will never add a link to the downloads list anymore.

i have to manually add them by copying and pasting the link

yeah basically the browser integration in firefox is not working the last few weeks

Hello,

Thank you for letting us know. It's a Qt (a framework FDM uses) bug. We'll try to fix it in the upcoming FDM versions.

Like the last poster, FDM isn't working for me, either.
It doesn't start on its own or catch downloads when I click a link.

FDM not working (starting) even after a proper installation.

to look like something like that as example:

Code: Select all

That fixed the problem for me on my portable install

That sounds about right. I don't have any other addons that actually reference / make use of local paths, and nothing else broke during my time with Nightly v106a1. Thanks for this, I'll keep this post and snippet handy if they do mess with it again.

FF version: 106.0b2
Latest version for FDM windows and FF add-on.

Tried restarting FF and the FDM application but no luck. Also tried to uninstall the add-on and reinstalling.

I'm running Firefox Nightly v107.0 alpha 1, and until today it was also broken there, Today, without any changes to FDM or the FDM addon (3.0.57 for Firefox) it has started working again.

I suspect it is a change in the 106 that has been either reverted in 107, or else whatever that change broke has been fixed in 107. Thus, I suspect that once 107 moves to Beta, it will also be fixed there.

I just tested on Nightly and this seems to be correct. Thanks.

Hello,
"Does not work" means nothing and means anything at the same time. Most of the time it's just impossible to fix any issue using such a "report".

Test in Fx 104.0.1, 104.0.2 and 105.0, it's working fine in all three.

Try a new profile and see if it works in there (just the FDM addon installed). If it does, it's something in your main profile.

Hello,
What do you mean "shuts down"? Just exits silently? No "app crashed" windows from neither FDM, nor OS?
Do you you have any "fdm.exe.*.dmp" files in your %LOCALAPPDATA%\CrashDumps folder?
If yes, please upload a few of them somewhere (e.g. to anonfiles.com) and send me link(s) via the private message on this forum.
P.S. I've tried to reproduce - works fine for me...
