I found solution : follow this thread link here

manually copy this file from ~/.config/google-chrome/NativeMessagingHosts/org.freedownloadmanager.fdm5.cnh.json to ~./config/.config/BraveSoftware/Brave-Browser/NativeMessagingHosts/org.freedownloadmanager.fdm5.cnh.json.
Don't forget to restart Brave browser.

ERROR4-0-3 · 2022-01-23T18:52:53Z

copy fdm file form ".config/google-chrome/NativeMessagingHosts/org.freedownloadmanager.fdm5.cnh.json"
to brave folder ".config/BraveSoftware/Brave-Browser/NativeMessagingHosts"

Same issue

ryanbr · 2023-05-09T05:26:27Z

Okay testing this, Installing the extension by itself will get you "Loading". Uninstalling extension and installing the applicatiopn, then re-install the extension is fine.

The extension relys on the application to be installed first. Should be safe to close this report?

Also the Hasn't been updated since 2021,.

Sid-352 · 2023-10-24T08:53:41Z

I still have this issue, I even uninstalled and reinstalled the extension multiple times. Steps to reproduce were exactly the same

Do you have Free Download Manager app installed in your system? What is your OS?

i've resolved my issue by removing unnecessary escape characters in the configuration file.
Edit the file ~/.config/BraveSoftware/Brave-Browser/NativeMessagingHosts/org.freedownloadmanager.fdm5.cnh.json

remove unnecessary escape characters:

{
  "allowed_origins": [
    "chrome-extension://ahmpjcflkgiildlgicmcieglgoilbfdp/",
    "chrome-extension://mdfcjfioplkdchnhcpcobaheocanedjg/",
    "chrome-extension://lankfaompfogjfpocfljbnojefohmalk/"
  ],
  "description": "Free Download Manager",
  "name": "org.freedownloadmanager.fdm5.cnh",
  "path": "/opt/freedownloadmanager/wenativehost",
  "type": "stdio"
}

@nazdridoy Sounds like a Brave browser's bug. We'll add a workaround in the next version of FDM. Thanks for sharing!

@FreeDownloadManagerTeam as i could not find any issue tracker for FDM I'm posting it here as its related to FDM and FDM extention on brave.

FDM Window Focusing Issue on KDE Plasma 6 with Wayland

Description:
I'm facing an issue with Free Download Manager (FDM) after switching to Wayland with KDE Plasma 6. When I try to download multiple files, the FDM window does not focus correctly if an FDM window is already open and I switch to another program.

Steps to Reproduce:

Open a browser and start a download.
The FDM download window pops up as expected.
Minimize the FDM window or leave it in the background while switching to another program.
Attempt to download another file.
The FDM icon gets highlighted in the taskbar, but the window does not come to the foreground.
I have to manually click the FDM icon to bring the window into focus.

Expected Behavior:
The FDM window should automatically pop up and gain focus when a new download is initiated, even if the window is minimized or in the background.

Actual Behavior:
The FDM window stays in the background, only highlighting the taskbar icon. It does not gain focus automatically.

System Information:

OS: Archlinux KDE Plasma 6
Display Server: Wayland
FDM Version: 6.24.2.5857-1

Let me know if further information is required.
