I have autoplay disabled. But there are some sites where I'd like it to remain enabled. There's an exceptions list in the site permissions settings page that includes autoplay. But there's no way to add a new site directly from there. Other support answers indicate that sites get added there when the site asks to do something, like send notifications. But there's no option to ask about autoplaying videos, and the sites I'm interested in aren't asking to do anything else, either.

So it seems like there's notionally the ability for there to be an exception for autoplay, but there's no way to actually tell Firefox to create that exception.

Please tell me how I can create a site exception for the autoplay setting.

I was able to locally hijack DNS for one of the sites I wanted to add an exception to, set up a web site for it that requested microphone permissions, then go to it with Firefox for Android, where I was prompted for microphone permissions. I selected something for that microphone permission, then went to the exceptions list and changed the autoplay exception to allow autoplay (and cleared the microphone permission). I then removed my DNS hijack and went back to the real site and the exception worked the way I wanted it to.

The hijack was *way* more complicated than I imply here.

It is absurd that this is the method I had to go to to add an autoplay exception. Was this tested at all?
