MP3 downloads are now playing instead of being saved in folder as before.
MP3 downloads are now playing instead of being saved in folder as before.
Tried the archives on this question such as enter: about:config into the firefox address bar & search for the preference named media.windows-media-foundation.enabled. double-click it and change its value to false.
If any of the following settings have a status of user set, reset their values. To reset a value, right-click the setting and select Reset from the context menu: browser.download.dir browser.download.downloadDir browser.download.folderList browser.download.lastDir browser.download.useDownloadDir
Have been left downloading for many years and am a bit puzzled why it has change. I have no way to download MP3 files now :(

Right-click the link and choose Save Link As.
If that's not possible for some reason,
- Type about:config in the address bar and press Enter.
- Press the big button to bypass the warning.
- In the search bar, type media.directshow.enabled
- In the search results, double-click media.directshow.enabled to set its value to false

Thank you Gingerbread Man :) Am now able to save MP3 downloads using Right-click and Save Link As. Though I now have to do three clicks of my mouse to save download, whereas before it was just one Left-click on the link which was handy as I download a lot of MP3 podcasts.

Thank you for your post Cor-el I didn't understand what I was supposed to do with it. If you have the time, I would need a step by step procedure. It would be good to get back to the single Left-click download instead of the Right-click on link, Left-click on Save Link As and then Left-click to save in Folder.
