Stop auto "Download" of videos on web sites

I like to read news online from sites like: Foxnews, CNN, CBS, WSJ etc., and I have limited data available (Metered Service). On almost all of these sites I was able to stop auto play of the video by disabling auto play options, and adding disable HTML5 auto play extension when some sites managed to bypass the disabled auto play option. However, that didn't stop the sites from downloading the videos. I've tried everything that I've found online: content blocker, no script extensions, etc., but nothing seems to work. Does anyone know if there's an answer or a solution to this problem, or will I just have to limit my online site visits as some other forums suggest?

You could try an add-on such as the following if you haven't already:

https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/image-video-block/

Use its toolbar button to set your global default settings. When there's a site where you want site-specific settings, use the right-click context menu in the page. I don't see a way to make an exception just for one image or one page of a site.

Thanks for the advice, I've installed the addon and it seems to be stopping the downloads, but I'll have to watch my data usage to see if it's working, over the next few days. You're right, once it's set globally it works on all sites, which for me is okay. There are very few videos, Youtube or others, that I watch because of my data plan, so a global blockage of downloads is just fine. Thanks again for the quick response, I'll watch for a few days and let you know the results.
