I'm running firefox 28 on linux mint xfce.

I wrote a little bash script that takes a mp3 url as parameter (http://someting.mp3). I want firefox to launch it when I clic a mp3 link. For exemple, a link that point to this url : http://medias-balado.radio-canada.ca/diffusion/2014/03/balado/src/CBF/sojeune-20140321-1957.mp3

I've gone to option > applications and changed "podcast" everything that has "audio" in it to point to my script, but mp3's still opens directly in firefox (incorrectly by the way - firefox plays it very slowly).

In about:plugins, audio/mpeg is associated with vlc.

Anyway I can open these links with my scripts ?

Thanks!

Edit: Just to clarify, when I clic the link above, it should run this command : "myscriptforaudiolinks http://medias-balado.radio-canada.ca/diffusion/2014/03/balado/src/CBF/sojeune-20140321-1957.mp3" I mean, the file should not be downloaded by firefox, the url should simply be passed as an argument to the script.

You can set the media.gstreamer.enabled pref to false on the about:config page.

Thank you cor-el. That effectively prevent the link to be opened in firefox. But what happens is that it downloads the file and _then_ pass it to my script. I don't want to donwload it, just pass the url to the script.
