Re: Stop Autoplay of Videos in Yahoo
Can you give example url? I tried on Yahoo, I can't reproduce it.
I do use some custom about:config
as far it's configured like that, any video play will be blocked
I do use some custom about:config
Code: Select all
media.autoplay.blocking_policy = 5
media.autoplay.default = 5
media.autoplay.block-event.enabled = true
