How do I get firefox version 36 to play from audio from our selected default program and not the embedded quicktime player?
In our newsroom environment, staff prefers to have MP3s from various download sources open directly in an outside program's window (in this case Goldwave is the preferred program). That being said, with the newer version (36 specifically) the behavior of the program has changed so that MP3s are opening in a separate browser tab, regardless of the preferences in the "Applications" window of the Options as well as the program defaults within Windows. Previous adjustments made to about:config media.windows-media-foundation.enabled as well as media.directshow.enabled and setting to "False" no longer solve this issue.

hi tjh1211, please leave "media.windows-media-foundation.enabled" and "media.directshow.enabled" on their default value and switch "media.play-stand-alone" to false instead...
