Suddenly all mp3s are playing in my browser instead of asking me to save or open my mp3 player.

This just happened today after a restart. When I click on an mp3 file it now plays internally in the browser. I don't want this.

What I want is what I used to have: I click on an mp3 file and a dialog box opens up asking if I want to play it in my default application (mp3directcut) or save the file.

My Firefox settings are still set to play in mp3directcut for mp3s. I tried changing them to "always ask" and that had no effect. What in Hell is going on? I went for YEARS without problems before today and I changed absolutely nothing, Frustrating!

You can set media.play-stand-alone to false on the about:config page. You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.

Thanks a million! That solved it. I wonder why it changed on me?

You're welcome.

Playing MP3 files via the built-in HTML5 media player is the default.

Note that this pref was previously named media.windows-media-foundation.play-stand-alone, but a lot of media prefs got a shorter name in Firefox 44.
