No.

If you want to use Firefox (or even any other browser) to capture a download instead of your download manager, just go to the download manager's options (in Free Download Manager, it should be "Monitoring" tab) and uncheck your browser from the list of browsers to be intercepted.

Personally, I find using a download manager better than using a browser because I have a lot of room to tweak my downloads. For instance, placing downloads in different folders based on their extensions and not let them all lumped up in one folder. Just my opinion and a matter of personal preference. So based on this, I think you should continue using your download manager: taking Free Download Manager and Internet Download Manager as examples, you will see that they are powerful enough to manage video downloads from YOUTube, download whole sites, do batch downloads from a site, useful site explorer, schedule your downloads, download torrents from p2p portals, etc. FDM can even do automatic conversions of video files to proprietary ones based on your PC. All this power is not found in Firefox downloader. I can state a lot of other reasons, but I trust that since you are using FDM, you know its other advantages. So don't uninstall your download manager for now.

If you have to uninstall your old free download manager, it should be to upgrade to the latest one, or even use another download manager with more features, not to mention bells and whistles.

We all have the right to be wrong in our opinions but not in our facts.

 you can use firefox to download anything, so long as you don't have any
download manager installed in firefox. the download file dialoguebox pop ups the minute you press enter on a link & it automatically downloads with the in built download manager. & I must say, it is a pretty powerful dlm, with
 things like resume support & so on!
