I just discovered that "media.windows-media-foundation.enabled", false is no longer working to disable automatic playing of .mp3 files within FX. Would someone be kind enough to tell me how I can disable this feature in v26.0a2? Thanx.
Reference: viewtopic.php?f=23&t=2698835 Win7 Pro SP1 64 Bit
Comodo Internet Security Pale Moon 32.1.0, Interlink Mail 52.9.8194, Firefox 111.0, Thunderbird 102.8.0, and SeaMonkey 2.53.15
Maybe media.autoplay.enabled or media.windows-media-foundation.play-stand-alone ?
gone
media.autoplay.enabled = false just keeps the file from playing (it still loads the internal player). media.windows-media-foundation.play-stand-alone = false has no effect. Win7 Pro SP1 64 Bit
Comodo Internet Security Pale Moon 32.1.0, Interlink Mail 52.9.8194, Firefox 111.0, Thunderbird 102.8.0, and SeaMonkey 2.53.15
the following two prefs should be false.
media.directshow.enabled = false media.windows-media-foundation.enabled = false
Thanks Alice0775, media.directshow.enabled = false was the ticket! I already had the other one set to false. Kudos!  Win7 Pro SP1 64 Bit

Great, so release-notes only tell half the story. gone
Release Notes has *always* been a greatest hits. Every version of Firefox has thousands and thousands of changes. These are all listed in the diff logs, but only the most obvious/important ones will show up in the Release Notes.

Tip of the day: If it has "toolbar" in the name, it's crap.

I think you meant "most marketable".
And I think you mean Asa approved

Does the built-in mp3 player work in the Nightly?
I tried it on one of my own websites, and when I clicked a link to an mp3 file, I got the Flash-Block arrow. When I clicked it, the page turned gray, and it looked like there was some kind of "player" that took up the entire frame, but there was no sound. Do I have to do anything special to get it to work - except have my speakers turned on?  Although every day is Judgment Day, I nonetheless feel like a room without a roof.
I think you are using the old plugin, which is WMP plugin, try finding it at the Plugin and disable it.
Thanks very much. The only plug-ins I have enabled are the Mozilla plug-in and Flash. It doesn't matter, though. Now Fx asks me what I want to do with the files, which is fine with me. I was just sort of wondering what the built-in mp3 player looks like. Thanks again. Although every day is Judgment Day, I nonetheless feel like a room without a roof.
It is just look like the HTML5 player(but with the control only showing up when your mouse on the player), you can see it at here.

OK, thank you very much. I can't help but wonder out loud why - with all the well-functioning solutions out there - the Fx people decided to add an mp3 player. It just seems like another component to complicate matters at a time when the development team is already well on its way to presenting faithful users with a bloated product that strays far from the elegance and utility it once offered. Although every day is Judgment Day, I nonetheless feel like a room without a roof.
I think it is because some devs wants this function, and it was easy to add?
As you know, if this function is broken in future, they can just set as low priority and forgot it while let the other people who has the time(and using it all the time) to repair it, this is why it is open source?
