it is very annoying to open several new tabs in firefox 5 and have to go through each tab to ensure that the video or audio on the page is not playing. is there a way to prevent firefox 5 from auto playing video and audio?

you can use this add-on to block whatever content on a site you don't want to see:

Adblock Plus 1.3.9

Check and tell if its working.
