For desktop Firefox, we should not (cannot) change the default behavior for autoplay. This is (historical) protocol. Even if we provide other click-to-plays options, we might not change the default. However, for desktop, I don't think it's good that providing as default to delay starting in background tabs. This is same with that many people expect their youtube video to just start if they click the link. Some of them also expect their youtube video start in background tabs as podcast. For mobile, this delaying approach is well for saving power. I feel this approach make sense. -- Tetsuharu OHZEKI saneyuki.s.s...@gmail.com _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
