| 1322318 | 2013-01-10 19:10:00 | Hi all, Changes to Google/YouTube's "Push it whether they like it or not" big-brother technology means that extensions such as Firefox TubeStop no longer work. Anyone know of a TubeStop alternative that works? Thanks |

Mine must have been off by default, I had to go to about:config and toggle the 'plugins.click_to_play' value to true for it to work. Thanks |
