来自 Firefox 用户 14088948, 7 年前Am using ff Quantum 60.0.2 (64-bit).
Ok; FDM actually works somewhat well. The installation is STUPID.
I found this download manager from ff, but with some difficulty, perhaps other extensions paid ff more?
As usual, you have to add this extension in Firefox, (later, after I downloaded the real program from its website, and investigated the rather limited FDM settings, I found that FDM didn't know (button indicated no ff installation) that it had been added to ff, and asked me to check to see. I did and it led me to ff, where I saw that it was added to ff.
You will see a little blue icon on your FF toolbar.
I was not able to do anything with it.
Then I went into FF extension listing and doubleclicked the name which took me to the FDM website where I was presented with a download for FDM.
After downloading the FDM for my computer, I ran the FDM downloaded installer file (Norton approved it).
By the way, an icon will appear on your bottom screen bar, and when you click it you will be asked if you want to add it to Chrome. I said yes, and thought for a period of time that it had lockedup the computer because there was only a partially formed window and no progress bar. But it finally completed, and I closed Chrome.
Then I was left with a FDM window with a big box saying Drag and Drop. You can forget that.
Now the FDM actually works, but again, stupidly.
I went to Youtube and looked at a couple of kirghiz folk song videos.
Now adays, almost no videos provide a download function.
I tried various drag and drop, and cut and paste Url techiniques but none worked.
Finally, I clicked opened the upper left horizontal bar stack on the FDM window and found paste urls from the clipboard. I had previously loaded the clipboard with one of the video's url.
Then I could get the video to download rather quickly (and successfully. later I used real-audio to extract the Mp3s), I also pasted several other similar urls but only two downloaded, the other two gave me err msgs "file not found". Perhaps I had closed the FF tab for the youtube or perhaps FDM failed to latch onto those videos.
Note that there is a (default) option to skip confirmation of downloads (useful, I think).
The other defaults appeared to my eye to be reasonable.
The FDM window has a + tag which permits only one (I think) "tag"/per + action. This maybe for mid mp3 pdf extensions but I haven't had a chance to check it.
By the way, Where Is The Instruction Manual???
By the way FDM email help desk is apparently still functioning and rather rapidly. Get help before it gets too big or too good.

Thank you! - 评分 1 / 5来自 Firefox 用户 14334070, 17 天前trying to download a linux iso on sourceforge and it went straight to downloads and this extension acted like it didn't even know a download existed, total fail if it never asks to download at all, it's like xtreme download manager where you have to show it the download so no automation then it's useless to me.

- 评分 1 / 5来自 Firefox 用户 18842995, 1 个月前When running addon it has this statement as part of privacy policy:
"If you choose not to allow us to collect anonymous data, the FDM extension will be immediately removed from your browser."
This is not present on the privacy policy shared on firefox addon store.
The main issue is deception, but using such underhanded tactics is not great either. They never disclose what data will be collected or anonymized either.
Edit: found this response "We've implemented the recent anonymous data usage notification only to comply with the latest Mozilla’s requirements."
On one hand it is clearly stated that anonymous data is collected, on the other, this response implies that this is only because mozila required this statement. The only conclusion I can reach is that mozila is asking all addons to add this note no mater if they are collecting data or not, which, while possible, is hard to believe.
Edit 2: Some other comments from developers imply that this is to allow downloads (i.e. you need to send URL to server to download, etc). But all this is already called out separately and in great details outside of this mysterious anonymous telemetry. Thus, this is just necessary.开发者回应
发布于 1 个月前Hello! We are very sorry that the consent screen about data transfer have caused so many negative emotions among our users. However, as we've already explained, the FDM extension needs to transfer downloads to the FDM application in order to work. Without this transfer, the extension simply can’t function. Due to the latest Mozilla’s guidelines, this process now requires users to explicitly consent to the data transfer. If you find this requirement unacceptable, you can always uninstall the extension. We appreciate your understanding and hope you will consider this before leaving a lower rating. Thank you. 开发者回应

发布于 3 个月前Hello! We'd like to state once more that the FDM extension only transmits the essential data required to initiate downloads in the FDM client, precisely as it used to. We've implemented the recent anonymous data usage notification only to comply with the latest Mozilla’s requirements. We value the privacy of our users and keep maintaininging transparency concerning data usage.
