Setting to block embedded videos from initially playing?
When Firefox was initially run it blocked embedded videos from automatically playing; they had to be manually started. Now, the only feature found in the privacy setting is to stop the sound from automatically playing.
What happened to the original capability, to stop videos from automatically playing?

Note that some players that are created via JavaScript may not be caught by Firefox and might still start playing.

Hello xytsrm,
Would you try this please :
Type in the address bar about:config and press Enter (promise to be careful, if asked)
Type in the search bar media.autoplay
and check the values of these preferences :
media.autoplay.default = 1 [0=Allowed, 1=Blocked, 2=Prompt]
media.autoplay.allow-muted = false
media.autoplay.enabled.user-gestures-needed :
You'll have to experiment with the value, to see whether false or true works for you.
Also try to toggle :
media.block-autoplay-until-in-foreground
After you've made changes, close and restart Firefox.
Also see this article (which I think you've already read, but just in case) :

Thanks,
Some how media.autoplay.allow-muted = false was changed to "True". Perhaps I inadvertently clicked on the icon in the address-bar, turning the blocking off.
Changing back to "false" again stopped the videos from initially playing.
Thanks again. X
