Some of you might remember my earlier post griping about embedded music in webpages causing my download manager to pop up at every mp3, wma, rm (etc etc etc...) streaming music file.
SO, today I went to someone's page and they had a video streaming on their page. How annoying. But I realized I could adblock the offending file. So then I thought well... if I can block a streaming video then surely I can block streaming mp3's with this! So I added *.mp3* to my adblock filter and tada~~ it blocks the mp3s from being downloaded.
Ah, today is a great day =*)

Thats good, and im now going to be adding that particular perameter to my Adblock list. As wella s the *.mid* one. Damn i hate Midi files on websites. Clunky clunky.

better solution
if you use adblock this way, you will block any link that has the string mid or mp3 etc in it. you won't be able to go to (for example) www.midday.com and you won't be able to download mp3's from a link.this is a better way to block embedded audio (or embedded anything):
put this in you userContent.css file:
/* block embedded sounds */
embed[src*=".mid"] { display: none !important }
embed[src*=".mp2"] { display: none !important }
embed[src*=".mp3"] { display: none !important }
embed[src*=".mp4"] { display: none !important }
embed[src*=".wav"] { display: none !important }
embed[src*=".wma"] { display: none !important }
(on windows, you can find that here: C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxxxx.def
(you have to create that file, it won't be there if you haven't already)
