True.
This proposal could be applied to desktop Firefox. But I seem it would
be hard because of historical reasons.
On today's web, there are many "interactive" web sites which play
sounds when open them. Some of them are not controlled by users
because they doesn't not provide any control. This is website's
problem for accessibility/usability. But I also think that this is a
user agent (browser)'s problem originally.
However, Sadly, It's too late to change the behavior now for desktop browser.

Yes. I agree that disabling autoplay is not right way. For only
mobile, I think that the approach like click-to-play may be good to
resolve this issues. This "click-to-play" focuses only to absorb the
problem of autoplaying which includes privacy, honor, and traffic
attacks.

Although I think this might be resolved before mobile web expand more
and more. Now, B2G are very young platform. If we try to resolve these
issue, this moment would be chance to resolve it.
