1448340 2018-04-12 03:20:00 Is there a way to stop the auto play of videos in Stuff? It's annoying.

I'm using Firefox 59.02.

If Firefox is your browser type "about:config" in the address bar, hit Enter.
Search for "media.autoplay.enabled," then double-click to disable it.

1448342 2018-04-12 04:45:00 Been to about:config. "media.autoplay.enabled" can only be set to 'true' or 'false'. default is 'true' and I changed to 'false'.

It still doesn't stop the autoplay!

1448343 2018-04-12 12:23:00 I'm using F/F version 55.0.3 and piroska's tip was something I got elsewhere and it worked just fine. Maybe update your F/F to the latest may help. Greg (193)

1448345 2018-04-13 02:11:00 Were you able to 'enable' or 'disable' the media.autoplay? I could only change the setting to true /false.

How did you do it?

I am using the latest updates i.e. ver 59.0.2

1448347 2018-04-13 03:14:00 I clicked once and made it "false" it was "true" and was playing videos on almost every news page, now not auto-playing anything. zqwerty (97)
