mis en ligne : il y a 5 joursHi! This error happens when the extension loses connection with the desktop app.
To fix it: open the FDM app > Settings > Browser Integration. Uncheck your browser's box, wait 5 seconds, and check it again. Then, restart your browser. If that fails, cleanly reinstall the desktop app. If it doesn't help, please contact us at: support@freedownloadmanager.org - Noté 1 sur 5par VOIIIXI, il y a 21 joursnot open source and collects data, I dont care what it says it doesnt do.

mis en ligne : il y a 14 joursThank you for your feedback. The FDM browser extension only sends the information needed to start downloads in the FDM app. The anonymous data notice was added to comply with Mozilla's requirements.
If you are not comfortable with this, you can choose not to install the extension. We appreciate your understanding and hope you will take this into account before leaving a lower rating. Thank you! - Noté 1 sur 5par my name, il y a 4 moisWon't even let you install it unless you agree to let them spy on you through their add on, what a joke.

Utter bullshit, if you ask me. Pay for IDM or Jdownloader with the adfree installer instead and look up how to disable the ads in it after.

mis en ligne : il y a un anHello! 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. - Noté 1 sur 5par Utilisateur ou utilisatrice 18747101 de Firefox, il y a un anDeclining the data collection = plugin gets uninstalled... Way to force people to agree to be able to continue to use your "product".. yeah I've read your explanation as to "why" but that doesn't justify it imo.. just point people to a github and let them install from a file instead, and tell mozilla to go suck it

mis en ligne : il y a un anHello! We’re sorry for the inconvenience caused by the new data‑transfer consent prompt. Per Mozilla’s latest guidelines, extensions must now request your explicit permission before passing download information to the FDM application, which is why you’re seeing this screen. We understand extra prompts can be frustrating. Thank you for your understanding, and please let us know how we can make this smoother for you. Réponse du développeur

"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.Réponse du développeur

I know they keep saying "but only anonymous data is sent" but that's not the point. User data is just that. User data. Regardless of any anonymization.
