lurch234 Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 IDM has consistently refused to work on a addon for Palemoon. Until now!! Problem is that the usual xpi files in your IDM folder still won't work. Frustrated with this I found was is needed on Palemoons forum. xpi file: Site: https://www.upload.ee Sharecode: /files/10180053/idmmzcc-palemoon.rar.html To use: Click "Open file..." in the "file" tab of your browser and select the xpi file.

steven36 Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 That is one of the reasons i only used Firefox when on Windows , Waterfox always had the same problem , On Linux i don't have that problem because no IDM but is a problem for XDM so mostly i just use J Downloader and Uget with Flashgot on Linux .

That would have solved the problem but at the expense of other addons I simply will not part with. So I kept Cyberfox installed and whenever I needed to download a video I started it up and pasted the url. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used Cyberfox on Windows for years they hated the changes so much they stop making it so i went back to Firefox. So once i started using Linux i went to using Waterfox to get security updates. your better off using Palemoon because of security updates still Waterfox work for way more legacy addons than Palemoon do but you can make by with what Palemoon has. that's kind how i use all my browsers i use Waterfox mostly but i have Open With addon and can open a page up with Firefox , Chromium or Brave .

dhjohns Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 Just stick with Chromium based builds. Better supported, more stable. 🤳 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
