How do you stop HTML5 video from autoplaying?
I don't want video to play automatically. Flashblock achieves this for flash videos, but there doesn't seem to be a way to do the same thing for html5 video (on vine, for example).
None of the about:config settings appear to have any effect, and html5 isn't handled by a plugin so click to activate doesn't do anything either.

Flashblock can stop the HTML5 video from playing at all, but does not just stop autoplay.
I have already tried about:config approach, none of the settings appear to have any effect.
I found these at the Mozilla Add-ons Web Page {web link} (There’s a lot of good stuff here) There may be others.

The flash control thing is almost there - occasionally I get a brief burst of noise and video before it stomps on the playback but still a lot better than before, thanks.
I confirm `flash-control`stops autoplay for html5 and old Flash videos (attached screen), plus it has a comprehensive little FAQ right on the extension page :) Unlike `about:config` and other extensions I tried in vain. Thanks @FredMcD @fledermaus for mentionning the former.
