    Why are you forcing me to agree to data collection? if I dont, you automatically delete the FDM addon.

    Forced telemetry, even if called "anonymous".
    And not open-source to see contents or frequency of it.

    it doesn't work, just stuck at "loading" text. And yes, I've got the FDM software, it doesn't open neither.
    I greatly reccomend everyone to avoid this extension

    Doesn't work downloaded something and it just shows up loading in the extension, also I even if it did work I doubt it can auto resume downloads.

    Sorry this needs updating bad. Also your forced to allow anonymous data usage to them, which is like totally wrong to force people to use the app to force anonymous data usage, the choice is there for a reason right?

    Ok I'll give it one last shot thanks, i can't find the auto resume setting? I'd like f or it to save my settings when I Set it to not catch any downloads on any site, everytime I reboot firefox, it resets that option and I have to select it again. I'ts not bad and it's almost perfect, but there's room for improvement.

    I've used FDM for decades. Being forced to enable "anonymous" data collection is a true ensh*ttification. I will look for alternatives. 1/5 because I can't give it 0/5. Awful.
