media.autoplay.enabled -> false media.block-autoplay-until-in-foreground -> true (probably not necessary if you have the above setting) media.default_volume -> 0.0 (or something suitably low so as to not be obnoxious when you do start a video playing) There are probably others, but those seem to do what I need (which sounds similar to what you describe).
