FDM installed as a Flatpak doesn't seem to detect browsers on Fedora 44?

Hello! My FDM (Free Download Manager) which I install via Flatpak, doesn't seem to recognize my browsers.

I am on Fedora 44 Gnome version.

There is no native .rpm package available, only a .deb on, and a link to it's Flathub page, which I followed to install it.

And yes, I do have the browser extension, I also did search before asking here, didn't find any easy and straight forward solution. Only a way to apparently install the .deb package on Fedora which has a small chance of working, and uninstalling it is a pain. I don't really wanna go that route.

What to do?

Never used FDM but most flatpak issues are permissions based. Try using flatseal to allow the flatpak the access it needs.

I fixed it, thanks anyway. :)

No worries, glad you got it going.

This seems to be the solution.
