I use a 3rd-party dl manager (which works just fine with FF), and I need to turn off FF's built-in dl manager. I find various options to configure FF's dl manager, but not one to completely turn it off. Is that possible? I don't mind editing the registry, if that's what it takes. WinXP Pro SP3, all latest security patches.

You can use the FlashGot extension to integrate that download manage in Firefox and disable the build-in Firefox Download Manager.
