How do I get Firefox 26 to use my default audio player (Winamp)?
My default player in WINXP is WinAmp. It always came up in Firefox when I selected an mp3 to play. A few days ago a black screen started popping up instead that has an unidentified player in it. The player plays OK but if I use the back button to go back to the page source it stops playing. WinAmp does not do that. The default player in the menu options in Firefox (Tools/Options/Applications) is WinAmp but it will not come up for mp3 files even though it is the default. How can I get WinAmp to come up again? My current version of Firefox is 26.0.

Hello,
Try Firefox Safe Mode to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)
- On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the Shift key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
- On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the option key while starting Firefox.
- On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
- Or open the Help menu and click on the Restart with Add-ons Disabled... menu item while Firefox is running.
Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"
If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems article for that.
To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.
Thank you.
Check WINXP options to see if it is the default program.
