Some additional non-default settings I have which work very well so far: media.autoplay.default = 5 media.block-autoplay-until-in-foreground = false Of course, if you're using Android, about:config isn't an option unless you use nightly.

Curiosly, I just checked and I have: * media.autoplay.default = 5 * media.autoplay.enabled = false in my about:config but media.block-autoplay-until-in-foreground was left at its default "true" value, so I changed that. I am going to post this and restart the browser to see if that did the trick. *Update*: No, it didn't. sigh I found this: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1274056 https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1274056 > media.autoplay.allow-extension-background-pages false > media.autoplay.block-event.enabled true > media.autoplay.block-webaudio true > media.autoplay.default 5 > media.autoplay.enabled.user-gestures-needed false There is also this https://old.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/h0rsd9/could_someone_please_explain_the_options_for/fuohfrs/ https://old.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/h0rsd9/could_someo... > media.autoplay.blocking_policy = 2 seems to correspond to the media.autoplay.enabled.user-gestures-needed setting above. Will try those next. *Last Update*: I have set: media.autoplay.allow-extension-background-pages = false media.autoplay.block-event.enabled = true media.autoplay.block-webaudio = true media.autoplay.default = 5 media.autoplay.blocking_policy = 2 Thank you very much. and that finally seems to have restored the behavior I want.

  Bravo! And thanks for the meticulous follow-up. Edit: my config is approximately the same, so I apologise for not specifying them more thoroughly. Doing so with one finger and no copy/paste is onerous.

  Any adverse effects of this config? Thanks for detailing.

    The only thing resembling adverse that I've noticed is: 1. Youtube requires two taps to activate video 2. Some news media videos, eg CNN, do not play. *This may result from adblocking; not sure and not motivated to pursue it.

      Thanks, I've only noticed some non YT web videos won't play, but generally great.
