This is about disabling silent videos autoplaying. Firefox is already disabling videos with audio autoplaying. I am not sure how silent videos could be much more embarrassing or disturbing to people on public transport or your co-workers than an inappropriate image, and I do not agree that they are idiotic or anti-social.
- chimprich 8y agoFrom the title of the article: "Firefox 66 to block automatically playing audible video and audio". Emphasis mine.
- detaro 8y agoThe subthread we are commenting is about all autoplay, starting with a commenter saying the audio-only ban was not enough, and then being told that silent autoplay can also be turned off, but many users probably want it. > Muted autoplay is still allowed. WTH Mozilla. Just stop. Stop the stupid auto-playing video. Nobody wants it.
