you can download extensions for firefox.

that blocks auto play videos.

for auto playing i am not sure of....

to allow auto play you have to install a extension.

by the way is this for android or pc?

i looked in the settings seems like there is no whitelisting auto play domains but you will have to go to maybe the video plug in settings.

Thank you for your replies. Installing more addons is not what I want to do. If it isn't possible natively, then so be it. To me, it seems logical to have that ability in addition to just disabling audio. Maybe today, huge bandwidths are taken for granted. I grew up when every byte of download bandwidth was efficiently used and having continuous unwanted video downloading in the background is just wrong to me.

oh.... it may be a virus then if it downloads unwanted videos.

maybe you should try installing a antivirus software and scan your computer. how to do it: open a browser and download ahnlab v3 lite. you can get it from the website. for that website it will have a english translation for this site. and scan it and let me know the results.

just a question: have you ever downloaded something malicious program or a file of some sort?

No, it's not a virus or anything like that. I DO have antivirus software running. Always have.

Here is a prime example of what I am talking about: https://www.bloomberg.com/quote/LBIRD:FP

just in case try to scan

with your software....

a question: do you have ad block installed for your firefox browser?

sometimes other ad block extensions break the site. so i recommend adblock for firefox.

if you have adblock installled, you can white list the domain in the ad block settings. some ad blocks i used in my experience, breaks the site.

sorry i am new. i am trying to find a cause of your problem sorry if i am asking too many questions.

i am using firefox and the link you sent me, it displays fine on my Firefox browser. it might be some kind of adware or some sort. here is a tip: always have firewall on.( for if it downloads a video in the background without permission .

i use Firefox and it never had a problem.
