MP3 links in Firefox (can be closed)

Whenever I click a link ending in .mp3 in firefox it loads up a black window with (no video) in the middle and no audio controls. This makes listening to podcasts rather annoying, as if I want to pause for any reason I have to download it to my desktop and listen from there.

Is there a good lightweight extension that'll give me some basic media controls if I click an mp3 link? Thanks.

    You could try FoxyTunes, which can control your other media players on your computer as a bonus! It adds a little "play" button next to an mp3.

    Thanks, I remember I used to run that on my old computer, I'll have to give it a shot.

    Nope. Doesn't work, I still have to download the file if I want to be able to pause. The controls at the bottom don't work on stuff played in-browser.

    Go to the preferences and click "Applications." Scroll down to MP3 (and any other ones you want to change) and click on the right column, which should drop down a menu with several options. From there you can choose which plugin or outside application you want to handle that format.

    Thanks a ton. VLC was the defaulted app, I changed it to windows media player and it works perfectly now.
