IDM addon works partially

Hello everyone. I have a pretty weird problem with IDM.

Just few days ago i got my new pc. Fresh windows installation and all. I have installed firefox and IDM. Then IDM Integration Module (the addon) on firefox.

Now here's the issue. The download panel of IDM will not appear on files and videos, but left click "download with idm" works fine. If i start Firefox and then go to addons and disable then re-enable IDM module, it will start working correctly. both left click and download panel will appear. How can i fix that?

I have tried reinstalling the addon (from ff addons page and manualy), completely uninstalled and reinstalled FF and IDM, created new profile on FF, cleared all settings cookies etc. Disabled every other addon and custom CSS. Both apps are updated to their latest version at the time of this post.

This download manager works separately from the browser. The browser tells it what to download, and off it goes.

http://www.freedownloadmanager.org It is a powerful modern download accelerator and organizer for Windows and Mac.

You can check the Browser Console after starting Firefox to see if there are messages about this extension.
