Just tried opening a CNN (video on top), Bloomberg (video on top) and Epicurious (video on right) page on a fresh profile (using FF 80.0 on Linux) and modifying this option from the Preferences menu. Thus for: "Allow Audio and Video" video autoplays and audio is sound, "Block Audio" video starts playing and no audio is sound (audio is muted), "Block Audio and Video" video doesn't autoplay. So either a bug on Windows or you haven't modified that option or you've modified something that clashes with that option.
- mancerayder 6y agoI use uBlock Origin and Privacy Badger plugins. This is Windows and Android. I'll try disabling those. But did you try scrolling the page? Sometimes those videos start playing when you scroll down and they become smaller and jump to the bottom right hand corner of the window.
- mancerayder 6y agoJust confirmed on Android that Firefox is not honoring block autoplay video and audio (Settings -> Site Permissions -> Autoplay). 81.1.1
- forgotpwd16 6y agoI scrolled the pages using the mouse. It is possible that on Android scrolling is a gesture that is an interaction which activates autoplay. Maybe there is an option that overrides this but you should file a bug report as by default someone will expect to block it.
