MP3 files suddenly autoplaying on download

Asked by Kevin O'Brien on 2021-03-01

I am using Kubuntu 20.04.2, and today I suddenly had a problem with downloads of MP3 files autoplying. This had not happened yesterday or any time previously, so I assume it is a recent change. I want to stop it from happening, i.e. revert to what I had yesterday. Any ideas?

The problem is that I am playing files within a web site, and if try to save the file I get an application openinig automatically. It is not the app that is the problem, because I switched the order of the associated applications, and whichever app is listed first is the one that opens, so I think it has to be something in the general environment.

What browser are you using please? Do you have a tick for "open after download" in the browser (I assume Web browser here)...
