Windows – How to force Firefox to download mp3 file

downloadfile associationfirefoxmp3windows 7

Somehow my Firefox reverted to old behaviour, and now it plays all mp3 files from URL in my browser. I want it to ask for download location.

I have tried several things such as:

  • Firefox settings -> Programs -> … no option for "save as" there. Edit: actually i see "save as" option there now, but when i select it, it still plays on the browser even after reopening firefox.
  • about:config / media.windows-media-foundation.enabled -> false
  • AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\n74u0loi.default\mimeTypes.rdf -> NC:saveToDisk="true"

But I cant get it to work.

Firefox version: 28.0 (newest)

Edit: yet not found the solution. still forced to right click every mp3 file…

Best Answer

Firefox Menu => Options => Applications

Choose "Save As" for (.mp3) (audio/mpeg) and also for (.mp3) (audio/x-mpeg)
