Curious: How is a prompt ever better than simply expecting the user to click the play button?

We thought it could let users enable it for sites where they wanted it as a feature (netflix, youtube, games etc)

Turned out to be wrong, thats why we will be shipping blocked by default

Ah, didn't realize the prompt would save per site and not re-prompt. I can see how that might be useful for some people.

btw: Love Firefox, thanks for working on it =).
