How can I play AMR files in Firefox on Ubuntu?

VLC can play AMR files. I have used VLC to play AMR files before. VLC also has an firefox plugin which can be used to play AMR files in firefox too .


This not a direct fix but works for my purposes.

The extension Adblock Plus has an interesting feature that allows you to "block" any embedded media you'd like. But in order to do that, it will tell you the full URL of that media file.

What I do is install ABP on Firefox.

  1. On EverNote, mouse-over the "missing plugin" window, and a "Block" button will show up.
  2. Click on the button and it will display the full URL of the AMR file.
  3. Then simply copy/paste that URL in Firefox and the browser will allow you to work with it as a regular downloadable file. To save a few more seconds, simply set your Firefox to automatically open AMR files with VLC or Totem.

It does take a little fiddling, but once installed the process to open an audio note takes only seconds of copy and paste a URL.
