Play a music instead of downloading it

So everytime there's a flash with music in it, IDM will always shows up as if I clicked the download button. This is really a problem when a website has a lot of music in it.

But when I open the same website on different browser, I can play it like usual in the websitet itself without IDM popping out. It seems that there's something lack in my Firefox. Please help, thank you.

Sounds like you may have a setting in IDM which is causing that. Check with IDM support for help - I have never used the IDM add-on and have no idea what it is all about.

My IDM setting should've prevent Firefox to download them, and since Chrome can play it without problem I don't think IDM is the problem here.

You can test your assertion that IDM isn't the culprit.

Try disabling the IDM add-on in Firefox and see if the audio plays rather than wanting to download.
