When I installed version 22.0 my mp3 downloads automatically play rather than save. How do I fix this?
When I download mp3 files they automatically play instead of giving me the option to save them. I don't want them to play.

hello, firefox version 21 and above now makes use of the codecs that are included in your OS that enable it to directly play mp3 & mpeg files (also for html5 videos). in order to disable that, enter about:config into the firefox address bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named media.windows-media-foundation.enabled. double-click it and change its value to false.
another way to download the files without tweaking the preference mentioned above would be to right-click the link that leads to a mp3 file or right-click the player in firefox and choose to download the file like that...
