by Firefox user 15037318, 5 years agoWHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THIS ADDON?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I DOWNLOADED FDM BUT I COULD USE FDM EXACTLY THE SAME WITHOUT THIS ADDON THAN WHEN I HAVE THIS ADDON!!!!
I COPY THE YOUTUBE LINK AND PASTE IT IN FDM AND THAT IS IT!!!
AND THIS ICON BUTTON, WHAT ON EARTH IS IT FOR?!!!!
Honestly, FDM works but what on earth is this addon for?????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Even the pictures you provide here do not explain the slightest how this addon should be used!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YOU MUST DO BETTER HONESTLY WITH THIS ADDON AND ITS PURPOSE ESPECIALLY!!!
I removed this addon and I still can use FDM exactly the same than when I had this add installed on Firefox!!!!! That is how bad this addon is for and how bad this addon changes when it is installed on Firefox!!! It is simply completely useless except stealing all the information that you ask just to have this addon installed!!!

- Rated 5 out of 5by LoveFirefox, a month agoGood plugin but won't let you install the plugin unless you agree to let them spy on you?
EDIT: Thanks for clarification - makes sense, sorry for the bad review.Developer response
posted a month agoHello! The FDM extension only sends the data needed to start downloads in the FDM app. The anonymous data notice was added just to comply with Mozilla’s requirements.
If you’re not comfortable with this, you can choose not to install the extension. We appreciate your understanding and hope you’ll take this into account before leaving a lower rating. Thank you! - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 19707915, a month ago

posted 2 months agoHello! We would like to state once more that the FDM extension only transmits the necessary data to launch downloads in the FDM client. The anonymous data usage alert was implemented purely to meet Mozilla's stipulations. If you find this unacceptable, you can always choose not to install the extension. We appreciate your understanding and hope you’ll consider this before leaving a lower rating. Thank you. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 19794599, 2 months ago

posted 2 months agoHello! The extension requires data transfer to the FDM app to function properly, and due to Mozilla’s policies, your consent is necessary for this process. If you choose not to allow it, the extension won’t be able to work and may remove itself. - Rated 5 out of 5by fac, 2 months ago

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 14172993, 8 months agoWell I was also a bit annoyed by the consent and immidiatly install, but then I've read the comments here. And you can definitly improve your wording in the addon. If you had written hey its because mozilla has introduced that new policy I would have understood it immidiatly, but like its now I was not sure why you need to do that.
Lets see how good the extension is :D - Rated 5 out of 5by たやまみ, 8 months ago
