Can’t integrate IDM into Firefox? We’ve got you covered with a solution here. We’ve already covered how to set IDM to pickup downloads initiated from Chrome browser, we realized Firefox users too have Internet Download Manager integration problems.
After installing the update for Firefox, which IDM claims it supports, it downloads files from browser, however, shows an error now and then: ‘You have an obsolete Firefox Browser Integration or Firefox integration is not installed. Would you like to read how to fix it?’. If you click ‘yes’, it takes you to Firefox integration help page on the IDM website, which doesn’t help much.
Fix “Google Has Flagged “IDM Integration” as malicious and installation has been Prevented”
Fixing Obsolete Firefox browser integration error or how to integrate IDM into Firefox browser successfully
1. First, ensure, you’re using the latest version of IDM, for that, click on Help and select ‘Check for updates’, if an update is available install it or if you’re sure you’re using the recent version, skip this step.
Why IDM shows Update Notice Dialog?
2. Open Windows Explorer, Tools>Folder Options >View > uncheck ‘Hide extensions for Known files types’, click ‘OK’ to apply the changes.
Good News, IDM Extension for Chrome now available on Chrome Web Store
3. Now navigate to C:\Programs Files\Internet Download Manager, drag and drop idmmzcc.xpi (or use this file offered by Tonec) onto the Firefox address bar and press enter (ensure Firefox is already open and running), install the extension once dialog is displayed.
4. Restart Mozilla browser, open and view add-ons manager, you can now see IDM CC extension installed.
NOTE: Ensure Mozilla Firefox is checked in General tab of IDM options, for IDM integration to work.
Thank you, works like a charm
Fabulous solution,thanks a ton!! :D

Useless, doesn’t work for latest release of Firefox

Not working for newer versions of Firefox. Showing that the extension appears to be corrupt.
Just make sure Mozilla Firefox is selected in IDM options under General tab. I’ve also added this as note now at the end of article. Has that checked for you and IDM is working with Firefox?
Incompatible. Firefix is checked in idm
Which version of Firefox and IDM you’re using on your computer?
For me, IDM add-on is installed, enabled and working fine in Firefox 55.0.3
