I have a live radio link I stream from on my laptop, and it used to work on mobile using firefox.

https://live-radio01.mediahubaustralia.com/6TJW/aac/

Granted I haven't used it in a while on mobile so there have been a few updates. However, I went to stream it today and it loads as a download link. I even tried to force a desktop site and it still wanted to download. How do I circumvent the download so it will stream the media on my android device using firefox.

Hi

I recommend navigation to the stream again through the website - you may be connected to a stream rather than a download.

Hi Paul,

Unfortunately I can't. I'd bookmarked that link years ago, it still runs but has been de-linked from their website as they use a different portal which forces you to create an account with a third party, or listen through an app. The URL still works I'm just looking for a way to use it on mobile.

This sounds more like a change by the website than an issue with Firefox for Android. The team at that website should be able to help you further with this.
