It's probably because they broke the parser that translates path methods for the nativehost in Firefox 106. If it happens again replace all the occurrences of simple or double \/ in fdm's org.freedownloadmanager.fdm5.cnh.json by double dashes \\. to look like something like that as example: { "...

Is there a way to set the number of threads per file instead of per server?
