Howto get Firefox to send link to an external program?


good day to all you good linux folks

I have associated mplayer with mp3 files in Firefox, but then it will download the file first, which is quite annoying. Is there a way to get Firefox to supply the url to mplayer, so that it can stream it from the net, without downloading it?
