i download a lot of music from blogs, most of it is indie label or no-label and can't be purchased from the itunes store. anyway, using firefox, when i download a track it saves it to my downloads folder and then itunes automatically imports the file and starts playing it.

needless to say this is annoying. i'm usually doing other stuff while downloading and i don't want itunes opening on it's own and playing songs while i'm busy doing other things. also, i prefer to move the files into itunes manually.

i feel like this should be simple, and maybe it is, but i can't figure it out. how do i keep this from happening? anyone?

Please please please update your software RIGHT NOW.

Update to Firefox 19.0.2 Update Firefox to the latest release

Update your plugins: https://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/

This is critically important for security and stability reasons.
