Yes I am, because the default choice is idiotic, annoying and anti-social.

Setting your preference to autoplay may be irritating if you prefer it the other way, but you won't annoy your co-workers, leak any sensitive info, or wake up your SO before finding it in the wrong state. And the Firefox devs agree with me.

Could maybe add an option with Firefox sync to save browser settings if anyone really misses this "feature".

This is about disabling silent videos autoplaying. Firefox is already disabling videos with audio autoplaying. I am not sure how silent videos could be much more embarrassing or disturbing to people on public transport or your co-workers than an inappropriate image, and I do not agree that they are idiotic or anti-social.

From the title of the article: "Firefox 66 to block automatically playing audible video and audio". Emphasis mine.

The subthread we are commenting is about all autoplay, starting with a commenter saying the audio-only ban was not enough, and then being told that silent autoplay can also be turned off, but many users probably want it.

> Muted autoplay is still allowed. WTH Mozilla. Just stop. Stop the stupid auto-playing video. Nobody wants it.

Apologies. My comments were intended to be about autoplaying audio.
