Consolidated home page just starts playing an annoying video and I did not click on play. It will not stop when I try clicking pause.

Did you reset the homepage? Or you may have malware.

If resetting the homepage doesnt work, delete the user.js file in the profile folder explained in the article below.

AND for general malware problems, see the Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware article.
