Ok the issue was videos autoplaying. in this case on facebook. the facebook video setting was set to autoplay off, but they still played. I followed the advice of that 'pc geek'? page, and entered "about:config?filter=autoplay". It took me straight to the video 'autoplay enabled' item. I attempted to toggle from true to false; but false didn't show. . .only the word 'fake'. where false should be. I went back today to screenshot but you've guessed it. . . now all works normally. Still, what was the 'Fake' thing about.

Hi, by tomorrow you will be 3 versions behind. 60.0.2 will be current, you should update from Help --> About.

If the Preference is bold and user set then it means it was modified from the default. Just right-click the Preference and select Reset so it will be at default.
