If you're not imagining physical assault on the people in power who decide to enable autoplay for their content, then I'm certain there are people who hate it more than you do. But I also definitely think the people who enable autoplay, lack a certain kind of imagination that people could possibly be driven to irrational levels of hate because of this misfeature. But then this also applies to spam and spammers.

I'm not planning any physical assault :D and I don't think that any software is worth any assault. It is just a tool, if I don't like it, I modify it or change to a completely new tool.
The good thing is that I'm a programmer, I know the basics of c++ and js so I can just look around in firefox's source code and find interesting things that could make my web browsing experience better.

"media.block-autoplay-until-in-foreground" if you're searching for this.
I'm really grateful for customizability of firefox. I discovered "media.block-play-until-visible" in about:config some time ago and I hope that they don't have plans of removing that option in the future.
