    Why do you want to change it?  The IE download manager works fine.

      Download managers are pretty much junk...
      Being impatient will certainly win you many kudo points...

        Contact the company that made this 'latest and greatest' download manager, it's up to them to tell you how to install it.  If they can't it's bunk.

        Which browser is the default?
        Having a separate download manager allows on e to close the browser and go do something else.
        Here is the documentation for Firefox:

        Otherwise, you would have to copy the URL and paste it into the other download manager.
