- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13331000, 5 years agoPlease fix this to work with JW player.
Would have a 5★ review if it were not for making JW Player crash out — and JW Player is the most common embedded player, claimed to be on 2 million websites. This IS fixable because as another reviewer pointed out, the rival "Video Autoplay Blocker" addon works fine with these sites — the only reason I'm not using that addon is because it often leaves its "play" button at random positions on the site I'm viewing. - Rated 5 out of 5by Eric Xing, 5 years ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by kayak, 5 years agoDoes what it says. If you want to preload videos/thumbnails, you can by hovering the mouse enough times or clicking and releasing (to activate the media). The only problem I saw is that in some websites, like reddit, don't play videos with the extension on -- they don't work. But this is very minimal.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Dewnan, 5 years agoWorks but errors videos... try 'Video Autoplay Blocker' addon. It works good in my testing so far.
It puts a 'Play Video' in top corner.. WORKS GREAT and I checked the code with 'Extension Source Viewer' and it is clean, no spyware in it. 5 STARS! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13751373, 5 years agoWorks fine on all sites which formely drove me crazy - like chip.de
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 15524652, 5 years agoDoesn't work, both Washington Post and Travel Advisor blow right past this app.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 15231952, 5 years agoNot working in FF 70.0.1 (64-bit) on any of the multiple offenders' websites I have checked: MSN, Yahoo, CNN, etc... All videos autoplay as annoying usual.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 15299395, 5 years agoVia on-off testing I have determined that my HP desktop will not awake from sleep mode if Firefox is running with this extension running.

- Rated 1 out of 5by chmmr, 5 years agoSeveral issues with this addon that made me uninstall it:
- It simply doesn't work for some news websites that autoplay HTML5 video.
- The options menu displays a table of exceptions you've added, but it's always blank and can't be edited.
- It doesn't have any way of adding global exceptions for things like Bandcamp, where each artist has a domain prefix you must allow manually to get tracks auto-advancing.
- Most critically, this disables audio in many video conferencing web apps like Google Meet, and disabling the addon for them doesn't always work. - Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13512828, 5 years agoThis plugin works where the built in firefox html 5 blocker does not (no matter how I configure it) which would normally mean 5 stars.
However it also for some reason blocks web fonts. As a developer that is a big issue for me and as a developer I have no idea why this html5 blocker would prevent webfonts from loading.
Because it works well 5 stars because it breaks websites fonts -3 stars - Rated 5 out of 5by NKSoft, 6 years agoGreat! Can you please make an option to block only video looping (separately from autoplay and preload)!!!??? You would save millions of users from crazy ads! :) This should be a must!

- Rated 1 out of 5by rodrigaj, 6 years agoI have to DISABLE or REMOVE this extension in order to allow preloading to occur. "Pause Autoplay" and "Disable Preloading" check boxes do not function for individual sites.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15097424, 6 years agoStops annoying autoplay on Yahoo sites while none of the Firefox autoplay settings work (including Options, about:addons, about:config)
- Rated 2 out of 5by Gtbs, 6 years agoDoesn't seem to allow manually adding domains. Having to visit every domain individually is a pain. Not for me.
- Rated 3 out of 5by ander, 6 years agoI'm glad to have this, to stop autoplay videos at Yahoo News. Unfortunately, it has no effect at YouTube, or many other media sites.
