I'm not sure why "don't autoplay until tab focused" works but "don't autoplay on current tab" does not. btw, I use the "YouTube High Definition" Firefox extension, which allows you to prevent autoplay and tweak other YouTube parameters such as disabling overlay messages and forcing a default video size:

- throwanem 9y agoI suspect it's because the transition between one playlist video and the next triggers the autoplay-prevention code path. "Don't autoplay until focused" wouldn't, because if the tab hasn't been focused then the video's not playing at all, and if the tab has been focused, then autoplay is (I think) permitted without further restriction.
