Autoplay of Videos

QuiGonJohn — Sun, 25 Aug 2024 15:53:21 GMT

Could you PLEASE add a feature into Firefox that would COMPLETELY and TOTALLY disable ANY VIDEO from starting (Auto=Playing) on it's own? I run into this problem on Yahoo, Newsmax and many other sites. As far as I know, I have done all I can to disable this. Yet these offending sites it still happens. It would seem to me that this is something that COULD be STOPPED at the Browser Level. Thanks!

Hello

Allow or block media autoplay in Firefox
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/block-autoplay

Configuration Editor
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/about-config-editor-firefox search a preference name autoplay
media.autoplay.default 1 this corresponds to the situation Block Audio
media.autoplay.default 5 this corresponds to the situation Block Audio and Video
media.autoplay.default 0 this corresponds to the situation Allow Audio and Video

About, media.autoplay.blocking-policy, you can try 2

Other? is it about floating videos

Maybe? with the help of uBlock Origin
