Videos auto-play (video AND audio) despite Block setting being on for both
Going to any page on the ESPN.com site, videos are playing automatically - both video and audio - despite the fact that I have Firefox set to block both.
I am running Firefox 104.0.2 (latest version) on Windows 10.
Seems like the blocker is missing something, somehow. Anyone else see this?

I just scrolled down the entire homepage and nothing auto played for me on mac. Win 11 currently updating and will test in a few minutes.
Same in W11, nothing auto plays. see screenshot

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.

Well I can see how these are set in my browser, but can you or someone tell me how they *should* be set to block any auto-play? Here are how mine look:
- media.autoplay.default = 5
- media.autoplay.blocking_policy = 0
- media.autoplay.allow-extension-background-pages = true
- media.autoplay.block-event.enabled = false
- media.block-autoplay-until-in-foreground = true
I want to block any and all auto-play, ever. How should the above be set to achieve that? Thank you in advance!
Anyone? Can someone tell me what the settings *should* be for those 5 (or any other) settings to make auto-play of video stop?
Seems like a design flaw that this needs to be chased down this way. What is the point of an auto-play blocker setting if you then have to manually fudge four other settings too?
