whenever i click to download a music file it starts playing instead of downloading on a grey backgrownd like codec. Even though i change some setting in about:config, such as as ',audio/mpeg' in 'plugin.disable_full_page_plugin_for_types' and make the value False for media.windows-media-foundation.enabled, but still i am not able to download music files. So please help me out.

If it is a link and not an embedded player then you can also use "Save Link As" in the right-click context menu instead of left-clicking the link.

hello, you can right-click on the player and download the files this way.
