jnelsoninjax Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 I recall reading somewhere that you could config FF to not play embedded videos unless you click on them, just like Chrome does. Does anyone know how I can go about setting this up or if it is even possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haggis Veteran Posted January 17, 2013 Veteran Share Posted January 17, 2013 For embeded videos you can set media.autoplay.enabled to false in about:config. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
08993 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Type about:config in the address bar and then search for click, you want to set plugins.click_to_play to true Edit/ similar to above post but for all plugins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnelsoninjax Posted January 17, 2013 Author Share Posted January 17, 2013 Thank you both! That worked just fine! I visit a local news site, and often the stories have a video to go along with them, which is very annoying!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnelsoninjax Posted January 23, 2013 Author Share Posted January 23, 2013 Now suddenly after the upgrade videos are playing automatically again, despite the about:config settings. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Gary7 Subscriber² Posted January 23, 2013 Subscriber² Share Posted January 23, 2013 Now suddenly after the upgrade videos are playing automatically again, despite the about:config settings. Any ideas? Open About:Config and change plugins.click_to_play to true The upgrade may have changed it back?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anibal P Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 The way FF works if I recall correctly is that after an upgrade, any custom settings need to be redone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
