Hi Jan, Yes, I had the same on youtube. The hack I found to bypass this problem, is to move the progress bar at like 1sec and then the video is played, otherwise I couldn't figured how to make firefox play the video. Then I remember landry's commit message: > - Set media.autoplay.enabled to false by default, i'm usually wary of > changing upstream defaults, but this one is unfuriating with "the > modern web and all this funky video ads".. this one got support from > many. Because until then gifs on twitter weren't working (and I didn't find any way to make them start) so you lose all the funny kittens :) After setting media.autoplay.enabled back to true, it worked as before. Cheers, Daniel
