IDM supports Firefox 4 versions. http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/

Firefox 5 hasn't been released yet, scheduled for Tues June 21 @ 7 PM PDT.

You can use this add-on to "bump" extension compatibility for Firefox 5, and if that add-on works properly, report it as such.

Just keep using "Firefox 4.0.1" until a fix from "Firefox" or a new compatible version of "I.D.M" comes along , If ever ? "Firefox 4.0.1" works perfectly with "I.D.M version 6.05 Build 14..(April/25/2011) That way there is no need to enter any extra or altered code via the error console.

The fix is going to have to come from IDM, Mozilla doesn't fix or update products made by other companies.
