OT: Is there a reliable Firefox to block these annoying Bloomberg auto-play videos?

  Mine don't play in FF. I think you can disable this via: media.autoplay.enabled type about:config in url and set value to false

    I have this set to false and it's pretty annoying. It seems that the same triggers that make auto-play work are used to play regular video. So I always have to fiddle with Youtube to get a video to start, and Vimeo videos don't play at all. I've had to keep from using this flag in Chrome so I have a backup browser for such sites.

    Thanks, that worked, although YouTube affected, too. Well, better than unexpected auto-play.

      Update: Does also not-auto-play gifs/gifv on imgur, thus it's not really a solution.

  In Chrome, is this possible?

    There's a plugin that disables autoplay. https://github.com/Eloston/disable-html5-autoplay https://github.com/Eloston/disable-html5-autoplay https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/disable-html5-autoplay/efdhoaajjjgckpbkoglidkeendpkolai https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/disable-html5-auto...

  install a content blocker, e.g. umatrix, and block media requests?
