Free Download Manager has stopped working with firefox after I speedup the opening of firefox.(not after restart or update firefox) Before that I used FDM on firefox.I already try with restart firefox and followed the introduction under the quiz "Windows Media or other plugins stopped working after Firefox update | Firefox Help" but none of them worked.

When you say after you speeded up Firefox, do you mean that you used the Reset feature? You can tell because Firefox will create a new "Old Firefox Data" folder on your desktop when you Reset.

The Reset feature removes your extensions as part of its cleaning process. You probably need to reinstall FDM from its original source. Possibly the Add-ons site? https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/

yes,I used reset feature.I searched FDM in Add-ons site , but it's not available in there.Then I reinstall FDM and go to 1. Add-ons Manager - 2. Extensions - 3.Enable Free Download Manager in there and restart Firefox.After that my problem was solved. :) I think without reinstall FDM - go to 1. Add-ons Manager - 2. Extensions - 3.Enable Free Download Manager in there and restart Firefox can be solve the problem,but I'm not sure bcoz I did't try out that.

And I would like to thank you Mr: jscher2000 for helping me,thanks again.
