How to Block Autoplay Videos Using Firefox






 No one likes autoplay videos. A random assault of sound that you may or may not have come to see is rarely a pleasant surprise. Recently Firefox received an update that adds a new, robust tool for blocking the audio from autoplay videos from any site, which makes web browsing much more comfortable.

To turn this on, update Firefox to the newest version, and click on the information icon —that’s the lower case “i” in a circle in the browser bar. Click on “Permissions,” which brings you to a menu and check the box next to “Block websites from automatically playing sound.”


As the setting name implies, the tool specifically focuses on blocking videos with auto-playing sound. Sites that run videos silently, like Facebook, will still run with the feature on. Likewise, sites like YouTube and Netflix, which play many videos consecutively after a single click, will still be able to do without restriction.
