I want to be able to go to youtube, click on a video from the main page, have that video open up, but not actually play until I press play. Sometimes the volume on the videos is just too loud and I want it to play when I click something. I have had luck stopping autoplay on all other video sites other than youtube. To stop autoplay everywhere else, I followed existing advice:

1) Options->Privacy&Security->Permissions->For websites that autoplay sound->> Don't autoplay

2) About:config

media.autoplay.allow-muted - FALSE

media.autoplay.ask-permission - TRUE

media.autoplay.default - 1

media.autoplay.enabled - FALSE

media.autoplay.enabled.user-gestures-needed - TRUE

Still, if I go to youtube.com and click on a video, when the page loads, it autoplays the video. What can I do to stop this? Thanks for your help.

According to the Allow or block media autoplay in Firefox documentation, autoplay video blocking is still under development in Firefox and may not be functional on Firefox just yet.

I've looked and there do not seem to be any add-ons that provide this functionality either, at the moment.

The easiest alternative appears to be simply opening YouTube in a new tab. The video will not start to play while the tab is in the background. Instead, it will wait until you select the tab for the first time to start playing.

There should be an Auto Play switch upper right by the player.

That's to autoplay the next video. (Not a setting for the current video)

I had to set media.autoplay.default to 2 and then reload youtube. Then it asked me if I wanted to autoplay and I disabled it and it works. Setting it to 1 after works.

Your solution seemed to work for me, Cody, but when I closed Firefox and reopened it later, the same problem occurred. Arrghh...

I have no problem with the YT when disabling the AutoPlay. Are you sure you don't have a addon causing the autoplay to not work. I tried and once the YT is done a ad does come up sometime but other then that it stops.

Hi WestEnd, thanks for replying. I'm not referring to the autoplay button on the Youtube website, if that's what you were referring to? I can hit that button and disable the function so a video doesn't automatically play after I watch the one I first clicked on. That's ok.

My problem is when you first go to Youtube and click on a video, before you get the chance to watch a video (before youtube automatically plays the next video with their autoplay function), the video just starts playing. I hate it. It's often really loud. I just want to be able to click on a video and have it play when I press the play button. You used to be able to do this...maybe there was an old addon that blocked it, I can't remember.

Anyway, I do have 3 addons on my browser. Perhaps it is affecting something? I have AdblockPlus, Feedbro, and HTTPS everywhere.

Is there a way to check if they're causing the problem without uninstalling and losing all my settings/bookmarks, etc? Thanks to everyone for your help thus far.
