How can I force Firefox to download mp3 files and NOT play?

Hi guys,.

I couldn't change the settings of Firefox in this way, that it does not play mp3 files at all (in any kind of player), but allows to decide what with them for example to download the file.

What I actually did:

- changed at settings, that I want a dialog or download any file type and NOT use any other option (yes, all of them - not any kind of effect was seen there...)
- changed especially all mp3-related options to download
- deactivated ALL plugins and addons
- about:config -> media.windows-media-foundation.enabled -> false
- uninstalled ALL types of mediaplayers (Winamp, VLC etc.), but not WMP because it would be very complicated and would cause several bugs

Many updates before (I think it's up to 20 FF or if) you could simply tell FF, I tried to download the file via the settings and now it isn't.

Is it possible to left I can force Firefox to NOT READ mp3 files in any player and offer my the possibility to download?

Please do NOT give answers like:

- right click on the file and save it as ... I allready know that and do not want to use that solution. A few years before it was possible, so it should also be possible to directly click at the file and decide what to do with it. On all the sites I want to use it the possibilities are given and not blocked by the sites or implementations itself.

I thank very you much for your help in advance. I'm desperately trying to find an answer to this question for months...

Hello TurZ, please set media.windows - media - foundation.enabled back to its default value and turn media.play - stand alone false instead.

    How can I restart firefox with the same tabs and windows?

    It is not in the file menu or tools. I get nothing when searching for help. FF still knows how to do it, say to update extensions.

    I know that I can do by saving my session, coming out, reboot and restore the session but is there a single command to do this?

    Thank you. -David

    I have attached a screenshot showing how to select restore automatic session just above the setting of the Home Page where it says "When Firefox starts".

    With this set, you can restart Firefox manually out using the menu-

    • "3-bar" menu button > button "power".
    • (menu bar) File > Exit

    -and then restart Firefox.

    If you want a real reboot with a click of button, you can check something on the Add-ons site: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/

  • How can I force firefox use mplayer when I click on an attachment audio/mpeg (mp3)?

    If I go into preferences/applications and .avi files using mplayer, that it works exactly as he used the value, but if I do it for mp3 audio/mpeg fires mplayer adds to the list of download but when I click on the mp3 file
    It opens a new page with something that kind of looks like a player, but does not work! the download button argues that "Movie player is the default but I run mplayer to be the default value. Note: it's firefox - 32.0.2. This has worked in 23.0.1 - 1

    OK my pilot error! This fix allows clicking on the mp3 play at least sounds if I set preferences correctly for mplayer. But it still does not put the mplayer window so I have no control to pause the audio. Maybe it's because mplayer is loaded as a plugin. It is interesting that if I use totem instead of mplayer, totem runs in a new window, which allows the audio control.

  • How can I force firefox to open an exact url

    I live in England but regularly visit the United States. When I'm in the USA some URLS which I use regularly at home translates automatically to their international counterparts. For example, if I type www.bbc.co.uk at home, this site is loaded. If I'm in the USA, it is translated to www.bbc.com, which does not access the same information.

    This is just one example - the same thing happens with other sites.

  • How can I make Firefox stop downloads for a virus scan?

    Whenever I download something, especially the smaller .torrent files, Firefox or .jpg scan virus download. In theory, it's a good thing. In practice, at least for me, that means my browser is blocked as long as 2 minutes (average is closer to 10 seconds) while it scans the file that I have ZERO concern about a virus in the first place. Now, it is quite possible that because I'm not a nerd of the game my computer is 'slow' by elitist standards (2 GHz is slow? 2 MB of RAM is slow?), but that is neither here nor there; I want this 'service' gone and I want it gone now.

    You can disable the Firefox application for the downloaded file to scan.

    1. Type of topic: config in the address bar and press to enter.
    2. Accept the warning message that appears, this will then bring up a list of preferences.
    3. In the filter box, type scan
    4. Double-click on the
      browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone

      preference to change its value false

    This procedure stops just Firefox asking that the file is analyzed, your antivirus software is likely to scan downloaded files, especially executable files. If you want to disable this analysis (not recommended), you should check the settings of your antivirus software.

  • How can I get Firefox to load pages correctly and stop asking me to add to every page I visit as a "security exception"?

    I just downloaded the latest version of Firefox today because it is necessary for some of the websites that I need for my course at the college level. However, each unique Web site, I'm going to (even the Mozilla of sites, Google, etc.) says that there is an "untrusted connection". On some sites, I have an option between "get out me of here! ' or add this site especially as a security exception. As you can imagine, it is very time consuming and frustrating. I uninstalled the program (clean uninstall) and reinstalled. I have reset Firefox, and nothing helps. The problem persists, both in Mode without failure. With this question, every website that I managed to get access to is all kinds of messed up. The modules are missing, or the entire page is empty. It can stay there for an hour and nothing loads. I have a good internet connection and a fast processor. I was using Chrome front and Internet Explorer without problem. About two years ago, I used Mozilla Firefox on the same computer and had no problems. I have a 64 bit system, which is the only issue I can think might be causing the problem. I went through and tried to change almost all of the settings, and nothing has helped. I am at my wit's end because I have homework to do and can't because of this problem.

    Verify that the date and time on the computer is set correctly.

    If the problem persists after checking the date and time please say what security software you use, because some security software can cause this kind of problem.

  • Do you know how to solve the reason why I can't export my file into a MP3 file successfully? Why the MP3 file will not play after that I exported?

    Do you know why a file I exported using Adobe Audition doesn't play like a MP3 player?

    Well, to give a detailed response, we will have to a lot more on exactly how you did your export MP3 and where it will not play.

    However, a quick generic conjecture is that the hearing can make MP3 bit rate Constant (CBR) and bit rate Variable (VBR), as well as a wide range of bit rates.  (All of this is implemented on the screen POPS when you save in MP3 format).  Some MP3 players get picky with the files VBR and others do not like the low rate files then you better check these settings on your export.
