Answer

To set Firefox to download files using Free Download Manager (FDM), you can follow these steps:

  1. Install Free Download Manager: If you haven't already, download and install Free Download Manager from its official website.

  2. Open Free Download Manager: Launch FDM.

  3. Open Firefox: Start your Firefox browser.

  4. Access Firefox Settings:

    • Click the menu button (three horizontal lines) in the top right corner.
    • Select "Options" (or "Preferences" on macOS).

  5. Change Download Settings:

    • Scroll down to the "Files and Applications" section.
    • Find the "Downloads" section.
    • In the "Save files to" option, you can choose a specific folder for your downloads if desired.

  6. Set FDM as the Default Download Manager:

    • Go back to FDM, and in the menu, click on "Settings."
    • Look for an option named "Browser Integration" or "Integrations."
    • Make sure that the Firefox option is enabled. This allows FDM to intercept download links.

  7. Test the Configuration:

    • Go to a website and attempt to download a file.
    • If the configuration is correct, the download should be handled by FDM instead of Firefox's default download manager.

By following these steps, you should be able to set up Firefox to use Free Download Manager for handling your downloads. If you encounter any issues, check FDM’s documentation for additional troubleshooting tips.
