I have free download manager installed into my system which I have been using perfectly with Internet Explorer. After the installation of Firefox, my free download manager could not work again. Instead, Firefox will take over the download. please tell me how to disable the download feature in Firefox to continue download with the Free Download Manager.

Thank you.

Try using Flashgot to have your external download manager work with Firefox.

There are other things that need attention:

Your above posted system details show outdated plugin(s) with known security and stability risks that you should update.

  • Java Plug-in 1.6.0_02 for Netscape Navigator (DLL Helper)

Update the Java plugin to the latest version.
