I watch a lot of youtube videos and i open a lot of them in a short time. Not so long ago Firefox implemented this feature where when i opened a video in a new tab the video wouldn't start until i clicked on the new tab. The site would still load and all but the video would only start if i clicked on the tab. ("Load on tab select"-addon is not for me ) If i open a video in my current tab i want it to start right away just like normal. ("media.autoplay.enabled" option is not for me) Now (Jan. 2017) this wonderful function Firefox had is gone. What happened? I'm pretty sure i changed no settings. How get this function back?

Having more than one version of a program may cause issues. You must remove the older programs. Then get the current full installer.

Flash: Grab the uninstaller from here: Uninstall Flash Player | Windows Uninstall Flash Player | Mac

Then reinstall the latest version.

Note: Windows users should download the active_x for Internet Explorer. and the plugin for Plugin-based browsers (like Firefox).

Note: Windows 8 and Windows 10 have built-in flash players and Adobe will cause a conflict. Install the plugin only. Not the active_x.
