When i use socks proxy in firefox, i can only browse in internet and can't download any file from internet.

I have no problem when Using HTTP proxy servers and have no problem when direct connecting to internet without proxy.

I found this problem is because of advanced browser integration in idm software, and when i disable that option in idm the problem will be solved

Hi mojtaba20012003, It is possible to change the way Firefox connects to the internet. In the Preferences/Options menu > Advanced > Network> Settings. Make sure here the proxy configuration matches the preferences for Socks.

If you have any questions, or if this does not help, please let us know.
