While watching a video on Youtube, if I disable the "autoplay" option and click on a new video after a while, the autoplay option is again enabled by itself. That means, for every new video you click, you need to disable autoplay every single time. This happens even if you open a new video in a new tab.

In every other major browser (Chrome, Edge, Safari), if you disable autoplay once, it remains disabled, even for new videos on the same tab, or on new tabs.

I've tried this with Firefox Quantum and Firefox Quantum Developer Edition on both Windows and Mac.

More details ->

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_13_2) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/63.0.3239.108 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

1. Play a video on Youtube 2. Disable Autoplay while the video is playing 3. Click on another video after current video finishes


Actual results:

When the next video loaded, Autoplay was again enabled. No matter how many times you disable it, it remains enabled for each new video clicked, or even on youtube opened in new tabs.


Expected results:

Once Autoplay is disabled, it should remain disabled, no matter if it's a new video on the same tab, or a new video on a new tab, etc, just like in Chrome.

How do I fix this?

Well I am using W10 and went to yutubber and did the same turn off AutoPlay and let the video finish and then click another link and AutoPlay was still off. It would surmise this is a setting issue on your Browser or yutubber site and you need to also look at your youtubber settings to see what they are set at as well. I even let the second video run til the end and Autoplay was still off.

It appears like one of the add-ons I installed is causing this behavior. I first started Firefox in safe mode with no add-ons, where it seemed to be working fine. Then I enabled all related add-ons one-by-one until I came across the one which was responsible.

Here's the addon - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/youtube-high-definition/

By any chance, could you install this add-on and see if it causes autoplay to be enabled each time for you too? Would appreciate the help.
