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:

Code: Select all

{
  "allowed_extensions": [
    "fdm_ffext@freedownloadmanager.org",
    "fdm_ffext2@freedownloadmanager.org"
  ],
  "description": "Free Download Manager",
  "name": "org.freedownloadmanager.fdm5.cnh",
  "path": "D:\\Internet\\DL\\Free Download Manager\\wenativehost.exe",
  "type": "stdio"


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.

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.

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.

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
