How do I stop downloaded MP3s playing in the QuickTime Browser Plugin?

I have a number of websites created in Flash, which are used to promote musicians and bands in Bristol, UK. I use Flash because it allows animations, music players, background music, and all the other features ideal for promotional websites.
We offer MP3s for free download so our fans and followers can own some of our tracks.
Up until last week, a link directly to an MP3 would launch the "Save As..." download dialogue, allowing users to save the files to their PC.
However, since installing QuickTime 7, when you click on a link to an MP3 it now launches a nasty little embedded Quicktime player, which you can't save from or do anything useful with.
This is absolutely useless as I already have streaming audio and a built-in music player in my site, and I can now no longer offer MP3 downloads. I don't want to have to start zipping my MP3s or anything hideous like that, does anyone know a way that I can stop this happening?
I can't expect visitors to my sites to do anything, so I need some way of changing the URL so that it doesn't trigger the QT plugin.
Would really appreciate some assistance as this has effectively ruined the most significant part of most of our websites.
Thanks

Ah, well, it was worth a try, but since you're clearly not actually reading my post - I'm using FLASH, as I clearly stated so you cannot right click.
As for the QT Mime settings, what you are saying is woefully inaccurate, and once again you aren't reading what I am writing. Quicktime is not the default player for MP3s on my PC. And as of two days ago there was no QT MP3 browser plugin either. I installed Quicktime because I have to have it to play MOV files.
By installing QT the program arbitrarily (that means it did it without any involvement or permission from me) took ownership of MP3s in the browser only. I know how MIME settings work, and I made absolutely sure that QT did not get it's hands on any of my filetypes. However, there is NOT an option to stop it playing MP3s in a browser, and it most definitely happened without my say so.
There clearly isn't an answer to this, I'll either have to put my MP3s in Zips or use some elaborate code to generate a nasty HTML page so that you can (retch) Right Click, Save As. All this because the QuickTime player has made changes that it had absolutely no right to.
Never mind, I'll find another way. But first, I'm uninstalling Quicktime forever.

How do I stop downloaded videos playing badly/jerking?

Seriously, this is annoying. Itunes will not play back videos that I have bought through the itunes store. Does anyone know how to fix this? I realise that technically this is a breach of Itunes's T+C's, as it is not of sufficient quality, thus I am entitles to a refund, but I downloaded these videos a while ago? Does anyone know a support email address I can mail?

How do I stop a video playing in the background?

I'm using videos in a DPS publication for iPad, but when I turn away from the page while the video plays, it continues to play in the background. That's not a thing I want. How do I stop that from happening so that the video pauses or stops when I flip pages?

In other blogs some mentioned a little tool that stops the video when u go to other pages but it doesn't on Android as the mentioned here

How can I stop Firefox from making itself the default browser every time it upgrades?

Every time there's a new version of firefox, it updates automatically, but it changes the windows file type settings so that firefox is now the default browser.
I have gone to tools > options > advanced and cleared the "Always check to see if firefox is the default browser" checkbox. It's not an issue on startup, only on upgrade.
This happens every time there's a new version of firefox.

Unfortunately the "web browser" I want to use is just a compiled script that examines the URL and then launches the proper browser to open it (because some pages are not standards compliant and work better in a certain browser). It does not appear in the default web browser list, but when I go to Tools > Folder Options > File Types, I can edit the firefox URL, URL http and URL https types and then it will work correctly until the next firefox upgrade.

How do I install just the Quicktime Browser plugin?

So I would like to just have the Internet Explorer Quicktime Addon installed without having
the full quicktime 7 installed. How would I go about doing that?
Thank you in advance,

QTPlugin.ocx seems to be the add-on file itself. It doesn't appear to be asscociated with a Microsoft Installer msi on its own. Therefore I doubt can it can be just installed separately, without the entire QuickTime installed? You could pull QTPlugin.ocx out of C:\Program Files\QuickTime but then how functional would it be without the rest of the componentry of the entire QT install? And where would you put it?
Where the computer is Windows 7 it likely has Internet Explorer 11. Which seems to no longer support many plug-ins in favor of HTML5.

How do you stop downloading itunes match songs to iphone 5

How do you stop downloading itunes match songs to iphone 5?
Cell data is turned off but it is still downloading.

When you initially enable iTunes Match on any iDevice it is wise to let it operate for a good period docked or with good WiFi.
Best route to stop it if essential is to switch off iTunes Match.

How do I stop Firefox from playing video after I navigate from the page or leave Firefox?

Simple and annoying. . Extremely frustrating issue with Firefox for Android. ..
I watch a YouTube video or any flash video. . And after I hit play, the ONLY way to stop it is to hit pause or let it play to the end or close the tab. .
It will NOT automatically stop if I open another tab. or if I navigate from Firefox. .
I feel this is a very basic feature. Did I set something up that was wrong?
Can I ask two questions?
I have another extremely annoying and frustrating problem with Firefox for Android.
The "top" (if you pull down the tabs) search bar DOES NOT allow my stock Samsung keyboard to auto space. . Thus instead of typing
"How do I stop Firefox from playing video after I navigate from the page or leave Firefox?"
I'll type in
"HowdoIstopFirefoxfromplayingvideoafterInavigatefromthepageorleaveFirefox?"
Unless I manually got the space bar.
Using a recently factory data reset Samsung Galaxy s4 active.. android 4.2.2 and stock Samsung keyboard ... Firefox 34.0.1
Thanks in advanced.
Ps
I was a hardcore xscope user for years and just recently gave in to Firefox when i lost all my bookmarks due to a forced factory data reset. .

I'm using a different keyboard which works fine in the most top search bar...
I cannot believe that it's not a feature.
What if I was watching a video and wanted to shut it off quickly? I'll have to hit back? Wait for the previous screen to load then hit the power button?
Please tell me that feature ids soon to come

How can I make music (mp3) play automatically in one Scene (NO buttons)?

How can I make an mp3 play automatically in one Scene (NO buttons)? I have been searching the net for answers for over 10 hours with no answer... My movie will not be for the web, it needs to be portable (CD or flash drive)...
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!
thank you!

You just need to look in Help for the Sound class and possibly SoundChannel... if you have an MP3 in your library - right click it, and go to properties. Set the sound to export for ActionScript - and give it a class name - mySound will work. Then you can make it play with something as simple as:
var a:SoundChannel = new mySound().play();

How do I stop downloading eavh podcast four times Arums

First of all, that sounds like your computer is not secured from other users. Make sure to have the login page come up on startup and set a password for your computer to wake from sleep, etc.
In your Dictation & Speech panel, select the Text to Speech section and in the Voice drop-down, choose Customize...
In there find the voices that have been added to your listing and uncheck them. Hopefully, that will stop any further downloading.
The voice currently downloading is grayed out, meaning you can't stop it directly.
HOWEVER, if you find it in Activity Monitor you can. Open Activity Monitor and go to the Network tab.
Sort the activity by Received Bytes and your culprit should show at the top, with the name softwareupdates or something like that. Force quit that and you will get a notice that your voice download was interrupted. It will be unchecked in Dictation & Speech.
Hope this helps.

How do you stop download of OS Yosemite. From BOwa1

How do you stop download of OS Yosemite. I started the download but changed my mind. can i stop the download or remove the upgrade after download.
Thank You,

I don't know of a way to stop the download, but when it finishes it will run automatically. Simply quit the installer. You can then delete it from the Applications folder like any other file.

Whenever I open a new Firefox Browser, the other Firefox Browsers that I have minimized to the bottom of the screen all restore, (reopen up) onto the screen with the new opened Firefox Browser, how do I stop this? Just want the new one to open on screen

Whenever I open a new Firefox Browser, the other Firefox Browsers that I have minimized to the bottom of the screen all restore, (reopen up) onto the screen with the new opened Firefox Browser, how do I stop this? Just want the new one to open on screen and the existing stay minimized.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I think when a I updated or downloaded a newer version of FireFox at Firefox's suggestion.

Hmm that does sound a bit strange - I use a system quite similar to yours (XP, FF 3.6.3), and don't see this behaviour.
I would recommend trying to start Firefox in Firefox [[Safe Mode]] (make sure you close '''all''' running Firefox instances first), and see if this problem persists.
If not, it could be some add-on causing this behaviour - restart Firefox in Safe Mode, disable all add-ons, and enable them one by one to find the guilty one.
If it still happens in Firefox Safe Mode, some other program (or something in Windows itself) most likely is the cause. We may be able to help with this too, so let us know what works and provide as much additional information as possible to let us help you solve this.
Please let us know how above works out, and if we can be of further assistance. Detailed feedback is appreciated and helps us to help you better, plus enables us to better help other users with similar issues.

How do I stop redirects even after selecting the advanced panel

How do I stop redirects even after selecting the advanced panel to warn or not to redirect to another web site?

Go to Edit/Preferences. You'll see the checkbox option to play after render there.
Unfortunately, render applies only to the timeline. There is no way to render clips before you add them to a timeline -- except converting them to DV-AVIs before you bring them into your project.
