Hi,

With the latest update the disabling media autoplay setting doesn't seem to work on some sites. I'm using the new media.autoplay.default option set to 1. It also plays sound on videos, even though I have that option blocked in the preferences. It was all working fine until the latest firefox update a few days ago. For an example, one site it doesn't work on is au.news.yahoo.com.

Any help is appreciated.

Cheers,

Nathan.

To make the "stop autoplay" work again use these settings:

media.autoplay.default: 1 media.autoplay.enabled.user-gestures-needed: false media.autoplay.allow-muted: false

Although the "media.autoplay.enabled.user-gestures-needed" seems to be wrong it brings back the "stop autoplay" feature.
