    IDK about a profile backup but IK youcan go into the options of IDM and re-enable it. If that does not work then uninstall IDM, restart, then install it again and you should be good.

    IDK then, I would go to IDM Support and tell them what happened. Maybe a firefox update that messed it up. I know that firefox was just updated to 3.6.7 recently. Maybe that might be why.

    Been a while since it tried opera but i'm almost certain you can import bookmarks, passwords e.c.t from firefox. Also have you not tried Jdownloader.

    To import FF bookmarks to Opera
    • In Firefox, Open Organize Bookmarks --> Import and Backup -> Export HTML
    • In Opera, Open Manage Bookmarks --> File -> Import Firefox Bookmarks
    • Select the HTML file you saved in FF

    It didn't work because you didn't follow MasterDisaster's instructions!

    In Firefox, there are 2 ways to "back-up" your bookmarks to 2 different file types. In the Organize Bookmarks function:

    1. Selecting "Backup" results in a .json file
    2. Selecting "Export HTML" results in a .html file

    Follow MasterDisaster's instructions to create a .html file from Firefox and import it to Opera.

    Yes, ff blocked my idm-right-click option, too. This happened when we updated and the new security thinks the idm addon is a security risk. You can override this by typing, "about:config" in the address bar, then click, "I promise I'll be careful" when that button comes up. Scroll down to "extensions.blocklist.enabled" and look over to the right. Double-click "true" under "values" which will change the entry to "false". That is what you want...."false". Close your browser and idm option should be working again when you open back up.
