I regularly save the files from YourClassical Daily Download, and was disappointed to see that they now open in a separate browser window, requiring several additional clicks to save the music for later use. I was hoping to find a toggle in the settings to switch it to opening the download menu instead, but it looks like that's not currently an option for MP3 files, based on this article: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/change-firefox-behavior-when-open-file I don't know if the website changed or if Firefox did, but it was much easier to use previously.

Hello
Maybe
Firefox policies https://mozilla.github.io/policy-templates
Handlers https://mozilla.github.io/policy-templates/#handlers
The Enterprise Policy Generator https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/enterprise-policy-generator helps to create the configuration file.
Configure default application handlers
By way of illustration
{
"policies": {
"Handlers": {
"extensions": {
"mp3": {
"action": "useHelperApp",
"ask": false,
"handlers": [
{
"name": "mp3",
"path": "C:\\Users\\manag\\Desktop\\Nouveau dossier\\vlc-3.0.21-win32\\vlc-3.0.21\\vlc.exe"
}
]
}
}
}
}
}
Copy/paste the above code (example) into Notepad
Save
Type: All files
policies.json
Create the distribution folder
Move policies.json to the distribution folder
Move the distribution folder to the folder where Firefox is installed

This file stores your preferences that tell Firefox what to do when it comes across a particular type of file. For example, these are the settings that tell Firefox to open a PDF file with Acrobat Reader when you click on it. For more information, see Manage file types and download actions in Firefox.
