I have received a pop-up advisory from Firefox several times, saying that my Free Download Manager is not compatible with the recommended 5.0.1 upgrade and wold have to be disabled until the compatibility problem was corrected.

(I think that I did download it, and that was when I got the first warning. I visited my download m manager shortly afterward, and all my download history had disappeared. I think that I then reversed the upgrade.)

Since then, my emails will load only in Basic HTML, which I have several problems with. I don't know if that is a Google or a Firefox problem.

So, my initial problem is that I need a reliable and easy to use free downloader before I can upgrade and get my Standard HTML back.

What free Download Managers are compatible with Firefox 5.0.1?

While we're at it, is 5.0.1 Beta? And what is Beta?

Solution: (Free Download Manager)

Go here: http://codecpack.co/download/Free_Download_Manager.html and download Free Download Manager 3.8.1067 Beta 3, it works perfectly with Firefox 5.0.1

Solution: (to Google mail aka Gmail)

I have had this problem for a while since I did a previous Firefox update, where I had to force Gmail to load in Basic HTML else it's next to impossible to use it. The solution is this: simply update your Java, and Gmail will work without a problem using Standard HTML. To update your Java go here: http://www.java.com/en/ and select "Free Java Download".

And beta normally, universally, means "the not quite there yet version of the version we're aiming for" NORMALLY used during production and testing of a type of software.

Hi Heme87,

Thank you for your answers.

I updated Java, The block said the download was 11 MB. It downloaded less than 1 MB. Downloaded free download manager.

I hesitate to download the Firefox upgrade, as those pop-ups also said that Google toolbar is also not compatible with FF 5.0.

Can you tell me how to access gmail without the toolbar?

Thanks a whole bunch.
