Most browser will play the video unless you use 3rd party software aka Addons that block autoplay or start of the videos. That would be something you have to look at Firefox Addons for such addons to use assuming the site allows those Addons to do that.
Check that you have these values for the following preferences in about:config.
media.autoplay.default = 5 [0:Allowed;1:blocked;5:All Blocked] media.autoplay.block-event.enabled = true media.block-autoplay-until-in-foreground = false media.autoplay.allow-extension-background-pages = false media.autoplay.blocking_policy = 2
