[Feature Request] Firefox support as browser #1

I was originally thinking of making a feature request asking for an adblocker for the built-in browser but I don't think it would work as effectively as uBlock Origin does in Firefox.

Sometimes when downloading from certain pages plagued with ads is impossible to download what I'm trying to download because the page is infested with redirects that lead to malicious websites, I think using Firefox + uBlock as a browser could solve this, if it is possible to implement it.

Do you mean implementing entire Firefox engine and connecting uBlock Origin into Download Navi? Well, if yes, it may be possible thanks to GeckoView, but currently too complicated for me alone. Also, you can hold download button/link, copy it and add manually to Download Navi.

Well, in firefox settings there is "External Download manager" setting and it works with download navi (it asks on every download if u want to use firefox or download navi to download the file) so I think this issue can be closed now
