Hello, this is the most common problem as of late. We are working to fix Youtube compatibility all the time, and it still changes almost regularly.

Yes, it's a very frustrating thing to work with.

Not sure if anyone else has had my issue, but the FDM extension for Firefox does not seem to be catching any downloads from Firefox at all. I've got it enabled in desktop application settings, but every time I try to download something it defaults to the in-built downloader. The context menu when right-clicking videos and pictures still works though.

Firefox build? Addon version number? FDM version?

Not trying to be a jerk, but not having that info makes it impossible to either answer your post or to provide helpful hints at what you can try to do to fix it.

Thanks for the info. It's a recent issue for some users, the dev team is looking into it.

FDM doesn't even detect that Firefox is installed and I am using the 32bit version and the addon is present. All it does is tell me to download firefox and I end up with a duplicate browser that still does not work. I just uninstall it and find another download manager if no one gives me any clear fix
Thanks

FDM version 3.9.7 build 1641 stopped working after I updated Firefox to version 68. Each time this error message pops up when I try to download a file:

Code: Select all

Free Download Manager is not properly installed! Please reinstall Free Download Manager.

If you want to download with your browser please disable FDM extension in it.

Error code: 80080005


I reinstalled FDM, I reinstalled FF, but to no avail. Any help? My OS: Win 7 x64.

It looks like Mozilla updated AMO signing procedures and the extension should be re-released with bumped version number to force new digital signing. See for example update description for uBlockOrigin here:
https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/releases/tag/1.20.2
Raymond Hill wrote:This release exists only to fulfill a request by Mozilla that I submit a new version even if there is no code change, so as to test changes on the back-end of AMO.


WARNING: New AMO procedures may make extension incompatible with older Firefox builds (especially with Firefox 52.9.0 ESR, the last version for Windows XP). Just guessing, but you should remember troubles in May…
