Internet Download Manager not working on Firefox? Here’s the solution!

By this time most of us have updated our Firefox browser to the latest release. The latest Firefox version is quite efficient and works without a glitch. Most of the programs work perfectly well without any integration problems. But if you are using Internet Download Manager (IDM) for download purpose and you have a recent version of Firefox browser, then you might have faced integration problems with the browser and the download manager.

Well, I just found out the solution for it!

Internet Download Manager not working on Firefox

Here’s what  you have to do:

  • Head over to Firefox add-ons page and download Flashgot Add-on for Firefox (Compatible with the latest release).
  • After installing the add-on, restart the browser.
  • Go to  Tools > FlashGot > More Options > General Tab.

  • If  IDM is already installed on the computer, it automatically gets selected, if not browse on the general tab and locate IDM.
  • Next, select the “Auto Start Download” option.

That’s pretty much it! You can now download stuff using IDM, fully integrated with the Firefox browser.

UPDATE: FlashGot Add-On is no longer available.
