In FF 102 how can I confirm that the video AUTOPLAY is DISABLED when I visit Webpages? If I still get videos starting when visiting webpages and the AUTO{LAY is disabled. what else can be done to prevent them to start. I run Windows 10 Home Thank You

You can look at these prefs on the about:config page to see what settings work for you to block autoplay.

  • media.autoplay.default = 5 [0:allow;1:blockAudible;5:blockAll]
  • media.autoplay.blocking_policy = 2
  • media.autoplay.allow-extension-background-pages = false
  • media.autoplay.block-event.enabled = true
  • media.block-autoplay-until-in-foreground

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I accept the risk!" to continue.
