Hi,

so the problematic webpage is this one: http://www.huffingtonpost.kr/2016/01/01/story_n_8902008.html but I've had this problem actually many times on Huffington Post Korea, though I didn't keep all the URLs.

I haven't had this issue with original Huffington Post and I don't have this issue when I open it in Explorer.

When I open it, a video - https://stvideos.5min.com/2/698/5193698/519369762.mp4?hdnea=exp=1451809783~acl=/*~hmac=0ec2de78616c3053c8c6644d79d6e39eb3501b25d297d1df56c9f46205fb35b0 - automatically starts streaming, yet nowhere on the screen to be found. In other words, I can't turn it off. But it is in the Page Info.

So here's the problem. It is pretty annoying, but I was gonna block all images from stvideos.5min.com. I checked the block box, closed Page Info window, and refresh the page. And it still streams. So I go back to Page Info window, and it is still in the list under Media tab, WITH the 'Block Images from stvideos.5min.com' CHECKED.

Any helps?

Your System Details shows;

Installed Plug-ins

Shockwave Flash 11.9 r900

Security Issue: Update your Flash Player Version 20.0.0.267
https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html Note: Windows users should download the ‘’’active_x’’’ for “Internet Explorer,” and the ‘’’plugin’’’ for “Plugin-based browsers” (like Firefox).

Note: Windows 8 and Windows 10 have built in flash players and Adobe will cause a conflict.

See if there are updates for your graphics drivers https://support.mozilla.org/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration

Firefox should display a speaker icon on the Tab bar that you can click to stop the audio.

Unfortunately they have used a classname that starts with a number, but this code in the Web Console (Firefox menu button or Tools > Web Developer) should show the player: 

document.querySelector("[class=\"5min_holder_for_youtube\"]").style.display="block";
