Autoplay Block not Working
I have Autoplay set to Block Audio and Video for imdb.com, but when I visit the website videos start to play.

You may have to set preferences in about:config. That site doesn't autoplay here. media.autoplay.default = 5 [0:allow;1:blockAudible;5:blockAll] 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

You can look at these prefs on the about:config page to see what settings work for you to block autoplay.
- media.autoplay.default = 5 [0:allow;1:blockAudible;5:blockAll]
- media.autoplay.blocking_policy = 2
- media.autoplay.allow-extension-background-pages = false
- media.autoplay.block-event.enabled = true
- media.block-autoplay-until-in-foreground
You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I accept the risk!" to continue.
Thanks Terry and cor-el! It works now. It appears that the UI setting is broken?
