I don't fully know if this is a firefox problem or an add-on problem, but since the update yesterday, embedded YouTube videos have started playing automatically. Obviously this isn't ideal because I don't want to be stopping them every time I visit certain sites, especially when there's multiple, so does anyone have an idea how to stop this?

Problem solved, it was an add-on update from which I didn't realise I still used.

I don't want to entirely block videos though, I just don't want them to AUTOMATICALLY play. I'd prefer just to have them on the screen & able to click play if/when I wanted, like it was originally.

I'm not sure how it can be HTML 5 coding, I've not touched any coding.

So close to not using firefox any more, seems to have gone down the drain in recent times, so many issues which aren't a problem on Chrome or Opera.

What add-on was causing the problem?
