About intermediate versions:

Intermediate versions of download managers are those that have been released in the time span between the latest release of FlashGot (2014 if I'm not wrong) and now. DLG supports the latest versions and also the legacy versions that were supported by FlashGot, but whether these intermediate versions will work is unknown.

Installation:

Uninstall the previous version of the native host if installed.
Download and install the new native host from the link below.
Download and install the addon from the link below. (Go to addons -> click the cogwheel icon -> Install addon from file).

What is the native host?

Due to the mechanism of WebExtensions for an addon to be able to communicate with other programs on your computer you need to install a "Native Host". This is a standard procedure that many addons use.
Download Grab's native host is based on node.js (for now). You don't have to have node.js installed it is included in the setup.

The addon now has an update url so if you enable auto updates for it you will automatically receive new updates.
