Choose options / downloads / file types, select the "Plug-ins" button
and then deselect mp3.

However, Firefox annoyingly insists on downloading MP3s fully first,
rather than handing them over to another player to stream. To get around
this I use an extension called Launchy from
http://gemal.dk/mozilla/launchy.html, which adds extra options to the
right-click menu so you can open links in any other player or browser
you want.
