- Navigate to the IDM (Internet Download Manager) folder on your computer. You’ll typically find it in
C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Download Manager. - Open the IDM folder and select the correct file. If you have the latest version of Mozilla Firefox, choose the file named
idmmzcc3.xpi.
- Click on “Open” to proceed with installing the IDM extension.
- Once you’ve selected it, Firefox might ask you to confirm the installation. Go ahead and click “Add” to confirm.
- You’ll see a confirmation message stating that the IDM Integration Module extension for Mozilla Firefox has been installed.

- Now, next to the IDM Integration Module in your extensions list, click on the three dots (…) and then select “Manage.”
- Turn “On” Allow automatic updates and “Allow” Run on sites with restrictions to ensure IDM can efficiently handle all your download requests from Firefox. If you want IDM to work even when you’re browsing privately, make sure to “Allow” Run in Private Windows as well.
Congratulations! You’ve successfully integrated the Internet Download
Manager (IDM) extension into Mozilla Firefox using the manual IDM addon file (idmmzcc3.xpi). Now you can use IDM to manage your downloads directly

FAQs
1. How to Make IDM Default Downloader in Firefox?
To do this, you first need to add the IDM Add-on to Firefox, which you’ve just learned how to do! Once it’s successfully integrated, IDM should automatically take over downloads in Firefox. If it doesn’t, you might need to check and configure IDM settings to ensure it’s enabled and has access to all file URLs.
2. IDM MKV to Mp4 in Firefox?
If you want IDM to download MP4 files instead of MKV files in Firefox, you simply need to remove MKV from IDM’s list of recognized file types in its settings. This tells IDM to ignore MKV files and look for other supported formats like MP4.
3. How to Fix IDM not working in Firefox?
If IDM isn’t working as expected in Firefox, here’s a quick troubleshooting guide for you:
- Start by updating IDM to its latest version. Then, verify its integration settings within IDM preferences. After updating, restart Firefox to allow IDM to recognize the changes.
- Ensure the IDM extension is enabled in Firefox’s Add-ons menu. If there’s an update available for the extension itself, install it.
- Confirm compatibility between the IDM extension and your Firefox version. Sometimes, older extensions may not work correctly with newer Firefox releases, or vice-versa.
By following these steps, you should be able to troubleshoot and resolve most issues with IDM not working in Firefox effectively.
