The article shows that user will be able to whitelist sites on the desktop, but what about mobile?
My use case is that I use FF on Android as my default web browser. If I turn off media autoplay, I'm 99% happy. However, there are a few sites that I want to autoplay. In fact, my local NPR stream refuses to play if not played via autoplay. So I'm forever toggling the autoplay setting on and off mainly so I can listen to my local NPR station.
- psychometry 8y agoThat's something you should report to NPR.
- tomp 8y agoNo, that very likely means that Firefox's implementation is broken. The website shouldn't be able to detect the difference between video loading really slowly and/or network being temporarily unavailable and video blocked.
- untog 8y agoMobile devices have user interaction restrictions for media playback. It sounds (though I have no idea myself) that NPR is getting tripped up by them somewhere.
- drewg123 8y agoYeah, I did. Its still not fixed when I last checked. And yes, I donate at a level high enough to have the email address of a real person at the station.. FWIW, this is an audio stream (their live stream).
