IDM integration guide for Firefox and other Mozilla based browsers

Q. I've just updated Firefox to its newest version and IDM integration into Firefox stopped working. IDM does not take over downloads from Firefox anymore. What can I do to fix it?

Q. Firefox said it had disabled the IDM extension because it wasn't compatible. How do I resolve the problem?

Q. I cannot integrate IDM into FireFox 3.0. What should I do?

Q. How can I integrate IDM into Mozilla based browsers like Flox, SongBird, Netscape 8, and Netscape 9?

IDM integration for FireFox 3 and other Mozilla based browsers works fine with the latest version of IDM. Please use "Help->Quick Update" IDM main menu item to get the latest version of IDM. Turn on the corresponding checkox for browsers that you use in IDM Options -> General tab.

If you are using the latest version of IDM and the integration does not work, it's possible that you use an old version of IDM extension. In this case open this web-page in FireFox or in other Mozilla based browser that you need IDM to be integrated to, then press this button:
