How do I stop Firefox from playing video after I navigate from the page or leave Firefox?

Simple and annoying. . Extremely frustrating issue with Firefox for Android. ..

I watch a YouTube video or any flash video. . And after I hit play, the ONLY way to stop it is to hit pause or let it play to the end or close the tab. .

It will NOT automatically stop if I open another tab. or if I navigate from Firefox. .

I feel this is a very basic feature. Did I set something up that was wrong?


Can I ask two questions? 

I have another extremely annoying and frustrating problem with Firefox for Android.

The "top" (if you pull down the tabs) search bar DOES NOT allow my stock Samsung keyboard to auto space. . Thus instead of typing 

"How do I stop Firefox from playing video after I navigate from the page or leave Firefox?"

I'll type in

"HowdoIstopFirefoxfromplayingvideoafterInavigatefromthepageorleaveFirefox?"

Unless I manually got the space bar.


Using a recently factory data reset Samsung Galaxy s4 active.. android 4.2.2 and stock Samsung keyboard ... Firefox 34.0.1

Thanks in advanced.

Ps

I was a hardcore xscope user for years and just recently gave in to Firefox when i lost all my bookmarks due to a forced factory data reset. .

Currently this is not a feature of Firefox for the player to stop when you open a new tab. For the second question, does the keyboard have auto correct or a spell check?

I'm using a different keyboard which works fine in the most top search bar...

I cannot believe that it's not a feature.

What if I was watching a video and wanted to shut it off quickly? I'll have to hit back? Wait for the previous screen to load then hit the power button?

Please tell me that feature ids soon to come
