OK, we'll look into that.
Just wondering: why do you need Firefox x64?

it's work, I use nightly 32.0a1 (2014-05-13), try to uninstall the firefox extension and reenable that in fdm setting, fdm should handle that...

You didn't do any reading before posting.
FDM is NOT a 64-bit app, it's 32-bit app with 32-bit plugins so it works with 32-bit browsers only.

Hello fdm team!

Currently i've just migrated from my previous download manager to fdm. I appreciate all the works of the team, this fdm was so great to make me move on! But there is one problem: browser monitoring won't work on waterfox v.32 (It's basically a 64-bit fork of firefox). The plugin seems installed and active, the context menu works, but the monitoring stops. I'm using windows 8.1 x64. In IE, it's still working properly.

Cheers! :)

Have you read the FDM FAQ about 64-bit browsers?

I sure hope that is not the answer from developers as well. "Oh sure lets have people that barely know how to surf the net and turn on the computer, do all this time consuming and complicated stuff, so we don't have to do it."

Most PC users can't even install stuff, they don't even notice the "custom install" and if they do, they have no idea what it means. So expecting users to do all that work is just ridiculous.

What work do you mean? Is it really so difficult to read one message here: FDM FAQ - 64-bit Windows and 64-bit browsers?

FDM and Waterfox are NOT dedicated for newbies, some advanced options and features are NOT dedicated even for common users, so some technical knowledge may be required in any non-standard case. Do read "How to Report Bugs Effectively", please, if you don't trust my words.

FDM is a free software, but it is free as freedom, NOT free as a free beer. So:
- you are free to NOT use FDM if you don't like it;
- you are free to send detailed reports to help developers, if you want FDM to work better.

Complaining is futile, detailed reports are always welcome. If you want to make a suggestion, you can use "Suggest an idea" button at the top right corner of that page.

Firefox v33 update is telling that the FDM extension will be disabled because of incompatibility.
What to do?
Is it something we can fix or is a fix from the devs required?
