Hi all, I'm using firefox on my mac ith the newest macOS. When I listen to music through youtube and have the internal music channel selected, so the sound of my mac, nothing is wrong. But as soon as I click on the sound icon and select my sound set to play the music through Airplay, Itunes opens automatically and start to play a song as well. I can pauze the song in Itunes, but as soon as I select another song in youtube, itunes continues the songs I pauzed. Is the a way to solve this as listen to two songs at the same time is impossible ;) I tried it also through safari and here I dont have the same problem but I like to keep using firefox of course. Thanks for any help. Erik

Sounds more like a file association problem and not something of Browser making.

Did you check your file associations in your O/S and iTunes?

Hi. Unfotunatelly I'm not that wel known with Firefox. That's why I have no clue where to check my file associations. Anyone who know how to check this? Thanks.

HI, I would think that would be more of a iTunes issue than Firefox.
