I installed Folx download manager on my MacBook Pro. I didn't like it, so I removed it from the Applications folder. I also searched for its dependent files in /Library/Preferences, but I found nothing related to Folx.

Now, when I try to download files, it tries to download using Folx—but Folx doesn't work. How can I fix this problem?

Probably it is still integrated with your browser. What browser are you using? – pbm Nov 30 '10 at 18:14
Try following the official uninstallation instructions. – Gilles Nov 30 '10 at 19:05

Try taking a look at the answers to Don't want Folx become my default downloader (on Super User) and see if one of them helps. – Dori Feb 1 '11 at 3:24

If you use Firefox you should also unistall Folx plugin (Tools->Add-ons->Plugins->Folx Downloader Netscape plug-in -> disable)
