Make Interrupt Download enabled by default #40

I always have issue with this extension always reset the interrupt download option everytime i launch firefox. Dowload manager should grab downloads from browser by default.

@LoveChocoCat This bug is known and the team is working on it. Here is the summary ( and why it can't be handled from extension alone) :

When the browser starts, the extension sends a request to Persepolis to see if it's up and running.
If Persepolis responds:
The extension would be turned on ( and interrupts downloads )
else The extension would be turned off, otherwise, downloads will be canceled in the browser too!

So when the extension is unsure of Persepolis existence (or availability), it'll not interrupt downloads. It's not possible to handle the situation when Persepolis fails to respond. Sorry but this needs a fix on Persepolis itself
