Firfox still play mp3 when told of not

I implemented the solution specified in this announcement:

 https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/963437#answer-514541

However, the question now is when I click on a link to an MP3 from an external program, IE. Outlook, Firefox opens a new tab in this affair and starts playback of the file.

The solution in /questions/963437 #answer - 514541 (setting the preference media.windows - media - foundation.enabled to false in: config) only applies to Windows Vista and more. The preference of Windows XP is media.directshow.enabled.

It is copied from http://kb.mozillazine.org/File_types_and_download_actions#Built-in_support_for_certain_media

Windows Media Foundation isn't available on Windows XP.  Starting in Firefox 26,  MP3 content on Windows XP will open in the browser with the built-in player using DirectShow.  The related preference is media.directshow.enabled (bug 861693).
