I purchased a song to download from Walmart.com and received the error message when I tried to download the song; "Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (wmms) isn't associated with any program." I've never had a problem before. I paid for this download & I can't even access it.

Does the Walmart site offer a plugin or program (Walmart MP3 Music Downloads) to handle that protocol?

See:

On Windows a protocol need to be registered by a program that supports that protocol.
