Some time ago Kaspersky and other security software listed FDM as malware. As it hasn't been one-time accident, it may happen again, see this topic: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=11398

Login to your email account using webmail in your browser and check spam/junk folder, If you can't see any email from FDM, add freedownloadmanager.org domain to whitelist in your webmail and try to register once again with FDM WebExtension turned off.
FDM WebExtension older than 3.0.6 may block some elements of a webpage, including some forms (CAPTCHA etc.) on this forum, so your previous actions may be invalid.

FDM comes with its own native client so you must have installed another extension, possibly fake or malware.

Note that:

1. There is a third party WebExtension called "Download with Free Download Manager (FDM)" by belav, see here: https://addons.mozilla.org/pl/firefox/a ... d-with-fdm and this exxtension works with its own native client that must be downloaded separately.

2. There is also fake extension "Download with FDM (Free Download Manager)" based on belav code which seems to call coinhive.com javascript miner, see here: https://addons.mozilla.org/pl/firefox/a ... d-manager/
DO NOT INSTALL IT! It's been already reported as abuse (see reviews there), but the more reports the sooner it will be removed from Mozilla website.

I don't know which extension you have installed as both of listed above ones use the same native client by belav.

Use account on another email server. Some lame postmasters don't know how to properly manage spam.

This seems to be caused by a Firefox Bug. Without FDM sometimes a random Picture opens in a new tab.

I downloaded the first one, don't know why? lol I deleted it and installed the one in FDM's installation folder. Mozilla needs to kill those fake crap fast. :cry:

Now it works correct on aliexpress.

Please look into the following problem. Thank you.

Problem Description:
Free Download Manager prevents the use of https://drive.google.com in Firefox Quantum browser.

Version info:
OS Name: Microsoft Windows 10 Home Single Language (64-bit)
OS Version: 10.0.16299 Build 16299
Browser: Firefox Quantum version 57.0.2 (64-bit) en-US
Free Download Manager version 5.1.33.6791 (fdm5_x64_setup.exe)

Problem details:

Step 1:
In Firefox, open https://drive.google.com
Opens fine. I can see all my Google Drive files.

Step 2:
Install Free Download Manager (fdm5_x64_setup.exe)

Step 3:
Enable Firefox integration in Free Download Manager settings.
In Firefox add-ons, make sure Free Download Manager Extension is added.

Step 4:
Test Free Download Manager integration with Firefox.
Works fine. Free Download Manager catches downloads from Firefox.

Step 5:
Reboot the laptop.

Step 6:
In Firefox, open https://drive.google.com
Does not open in the browser. Instead, the index.html file is sent to Free Download Manager.

Step 7:
In Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge, open https://drive.google.com
Opens fine. I can see all my Google Drive files.

Step 8.
Disable Firefox integration in Free Download Manager settings.
Remove Free Download Manager Extension from Firefox.

Step 9.
In Firefox, open https://drive.google.com
Opens fine. I can see all my Google Drive files.

Step 10.
That's all.

It's because of incomplete WebExtension API implementation in Firefox. You can only use some workarounds in FDM. For more info RTF FDM FAQ, please.

<snip - too many URLs for reply>

That's all.


Running Firefox Nightly build 59.0a1 (2017-12-08) (64-bit) and FDM with addon v3.0.6 and I have 0 problems accessing Google Drive.

I noticed that you said that you install FDM - which installs the Fx addon v3.0.3 which exhibited that exact behavior on multiple sites.

I suggest that you visit this post by Usher viewtopic.php?f=1&t=16047&p=45147#p45147 and download the updated addon for Fx, v3.0.6, install it, and then try your tests again.
