New firefox update disabled IDM extension

Torment · **New firefox update disabled IDM extension -** 07-21-2010, 11:26 AM

So I downloaded the new Firefox update and found out it disabled the IDM extension. here's a quick fix for this problem:

*note* you may want to make a note of extensions already disabled by Firefox so you can disable them again after applying this quick fix

1) Type about:config in the firefox address bar and hit enter
2) Click 'I'll be careful, I promise'
3) Search or scroll down to find extensions.blocklist.enabled
4) If the value is true, set it to false by double clicking it (or right click > toggle).
5) Restart Firefox and IDM extension should be enabled again, along with all other previously disabled extensions

Enjoy

IDM extension?

IDM= Internet Download Manager, as far as I know.

Torment · 07-21-2010, 01:36 PM

Yeah, Internet Download Manager

Zid · 07-21-2010, 02:01 PM

Did they give any reason to why they disabled it or the other extensions?

Incompatibility/Instability which in general causes the occasional error.

Makes you wonder what's more important.
Security or usability?

Is the IDM important then?
