As of this morning, the option to "block websites from automatically playing sound" no longer appears in Permissions and autoplay is back on for all the sites I've visited. I checked to ensure Firefox is updated (it is), restarted Firefox and my computer and still "block websites from automatically playing sound" has disappeared! How do I get this option back?

Thanks - I deleted and re-downloaded it and it's back. No idea why or how it reverted to an older version but maybe my company did it during a software update overnight.

The version you had might have been a Firefox 60.6.1 ESR version.
