Note: You need to disable IDM browser integration after you finished downloading (don't worry you can turn it back again if you need it) to avoid pop-up of "Download Now" while you are using your Facebook. To disable it, open your IDM software and go to Downloads -> Tools / Settings. Unchecked the browser integrations on the browser you are using with your Facebook (the system need to be restarted.)
