PipBro3000 Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 (edited) I'm running Vortex 1.1.12 to mod Fallout 4, and the manager is not handling browser download links. I'm logged in to Nexus on both Vortex and Firefox, and in my settings I have "Handle Download with Manager" toggled on, but when I actually try to download I get a "The address wasn't understood" error on Firefox regarding nxm protocols. This might not be an issue with Vortex itself, but I still wanted to know who else might have had this same problem and/or knows a fix. EDIT: I've been testing things more, and it seems to work sometimes with .zip files, but not others.

Pickysaurus Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Firefox is a complete nightmare when it comes to protocol management. It hijacks the system's own settings for NXM links. I'm looking at Waterfox (which is basically the same) and I can see NXM under Options -> Applications in the browser. See if you can see it there and tell it Vortex is the app that is supposed to open these URLs. :smile: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PipBro3000 Posted February 19, 2020 Author Share Posted February 19, 2020 I went to my Firefox options to manage the nxm app like you said, but it didn't seem to work. Oh well. I can still get things working, just with an extra step, and now that I know it's a problem with Firefox I can just use Edge or something. Thanks!
