Blocking autoplay with Firefox

| AZDuffman Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 137 Posts: 21195 | Does anyone using Firefox know if there is a way to turn off all or block sites from autoplaying videos? I generally just want to read the site and am in courthouses from time to time where the noise is an issue. War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength |

I had a big smiley face at the end : ) It hit home with me. I have been trying to install ad blocker on our pc's. One was successful and the other I don't know yet, but the pc experience has changed and we are slow to adapt. I just want it back like it was, I may have to surrender to the advertisers and data miners? They have me bent over right now and I need to know some things. It doesn't seem fair at all through no fault of my own that malicious advertisers can continue to bombard me with stuff I would never purchase. And the one's I hate the most, flash at me and suck my brain over to the side of my screen and away from what I am trying to do. The last official act of any government is to loot the treasury. GW |

I have no idea why Firefox doesn't have a native setting to stop video's autoplaying. But then, I hardly use firefox except for testing purposes.

Yeah, could have worded the reply better. Waiting to see when the new gig starts. Played poker and monied yesterday, so I should be in a better mood. War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength |

Chrome has a lot more power behind it in the way it's been developed, and doesn't have quite as many bugs. These are things that if you're not working quite as intensively as I am you won't notice as much, or probably care about.
