Firefox autoplay tip
« on: November 28, 2018, 02:31:06 pm »
In case anyone is interested -

For some reason Mozilla recently decided to ignore the setting media.autoplay.enabled=false. I tried the new setting media.autoplay.default=1 and that seems to be working so far. There are some others that may also be relevant, but up-to-date documentation on the about.config settings can be hard to track down...

I had it set with autoplay off...with the new update FF,  the autoplay is back on again

I'll check it out.

If you can post a link where you see that I'll try it with my settings. It could also be older Flash stuff, if your plugin isn't set to "ask to activate"...
