Hi, In Last week, I proposed the following mail to mobile-firefox-dev mailing list. I feel this proposal is related to not only Fennec, but also B2G.
So I would like to hear your opinions. Best Regards. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Hello, I propose that we should disable "autoplay" feature of HTMLMediaElement on mobile. (I'm sorry if this topics has been discussed for a long time ago in past times.) At the current configuration, Gecko runs on mobile (Firefox for Android, B2G) are enable the "autoplay" feature of HTMLMediaElement with using `media.autoplay.enabled=true`. However, I think this might not be useful for users. Because: * Mobile Devices are more used in public space than Desktop PCs. If browser auto-plays all media which come from web without some user activations, this should be privacy risk. * And, simply, it would shame me if browser auto-plays web page audio in the silent public space. * In related with above things, this behavior might have social attack risk by web pages. If browser auto-plays x-rated (violent, porn or etc) video/audio with loud volumes in the public space, his user's name will be mud. So I propose "we should disable "autoplay" feature of HTMLMediaElement on mobile". And I would like to discuss about it. I welcome your feedback to polish Firefox for mobile and web.
