To allow Internet Download Manager (IDM) to capture web downloads and display floating video download panels while browsing in Mozilla Firefox, the official "IDM Integration Module" add-on by Tonec Inc. must be installed and active.
Follow the step-by-step visual guide below to configure Firefox integration properly.
Step 1: Check Firefox Integration in IDM Settings
Open the Internet Download Manager application on your PC.
Click on Options (gear icon) and open the General tab.
Make sure "Use advanced browser integration" is checked.
Verify that Mozilla Firefox is checked in the browser list. If unchecked, check it and click OK.

Step 2: Open the Official Mozilla Add-ons Page
Open Firefox and visit the official extension page directly:
Click Here to Install IDM Integration Module from Mozilla Add-ons

Step 3: Add the Extension to Firefox
Click the blue "Add to Firefox" button on the extension page.

Step 4: Grant Permissions
A popup will appear asking for permissions to integrate with your browser. Click "Add".

Step 5: Allow in Private Windows
Check the box for "Allow this extension to run in Private Windows" so IDM continues working in private browsing mode, then click "Okay".

Step 6: Open Firefox Add-ons Manager
If you need to verify or configure the extension later:
Click the Application Menu (≡) in the top-right corner of Firefox.
Select Add-ons and themes (or press
Ctrl + Shift + Aon your keyboard).

Step 7: Enable the Extension
Under the Extensions tab, locate IDM Integration Module and ensure the toggle switch is turned ON (Blue).

Step 8: Manage Extension Settings & Permissions
Click on IDM Integration Module to open its detailed settings page.

Step 9: Verify Private Browsing Permissions
Under the Details tab, make sure the Run in Private Windows setting is set to "Allow".

Step 10: Alternative Manual Installation (Using XPI File)
If you cannot access the Mozilla Add-ons store or the installation fails:
Open the Firefox Add-ons Manager (
Ctrl + Shift + A).Open File Explorer and go to your IDM installation directory:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Download Manager(orC:\Program Files\Internet Download Manager).Locate the file named
idmmzcc3.xpi(oridmmzcc.xpi).

Step 11: Drag and Drop the XPI File into Firefox
Drag the idmmzcc3.xpi file from your folder and drop it directly onto the open Firefox Add-ons tab, then click "Add" when prompted.

Step 12: Verify Download Panel in Firefox
Open any video streaming site (such as YouTube) or initiate a file download in Mozilla Firefox. You should now see the floating "Download this video" bar appear above the media player.
