- Rated 1 out of 5by XCallite, 13 days agoDo not use this addon. It forces you accept the collection of user data. It gives you the chance to refuse, but you cannot use the plugin if you refuse.

posted 2 months agoGreetings! Could you please provide us with more details about the problem you're experiencing using the following form: https://www.freedownloadmanager.org/support.htm - Rated 4 out of 5by edenflare, 2 months agoDoesn'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.Developer response

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 12335118, 3 months agoI'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.
