      Please change your link. This is an autism comm. People have AV sensitivities.

      Edit: to clarify please remove the embed link in your post as it auto plays for those using browser who want to read or make comments. Keep the article so people can discuss it’s merits if they choose.

        Sorry but if you don’t like autoplay, it’s your responsibility to disable that on your device. Here’s how to do it in firefox:

        1. Open Firefox.

        2. Go to Settings:

          • Click the menu button (three horizontal lines in the top-right).
          • Select Settings (or Preferences on macOS/Linux).

        3. In the left sidebar, select Privacy & Security.

        4. Scroll down to the Permissions section.

        5. Next to Autoplay, click Settings.

        6. Change the dropdown at the top to Block Audio and Video.

        7. Click Save Changes.

            I just followed those steps and it worked perfectly on the OP link. Then I switched it back and got autoplay again.

            The path on android is hamburger menu > settings > privacy and security > site settings > autoplay

              Yup, I know where it is.
              I have also cleared exceptions list, cleared cache, reinstalled, but it still bugs out and this video still autoplays for me.
              I might try the nightly build ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

                Sheesh, sounds like you did all the basic troubleshooting already. Are you signing into a profile? Maybe it’s importing a setting from that

                I also ran the nightly for quite a while because I needed access to about:config and they’ve been locking it down for a while now. You can’t even open a local html file on firefox mobile anymore. I don’t really understand why they’re moving backwards.

                Anyway if you find a solution, I’d love to hear how you fixed it
