Stop youtube from autoplaying whenopening multiple links

When opening multiple links from a spreadsheet, FF focuses on each one before opening the next, meaning each video will begin playing, rather than waiting until I click on it. Is there anyway to make this function like chrome, where only the final tab is focused on and the rest do not play, or maybe only stay focused on the spreadsheet tab? Blocking autoplay will work, but it means I have to click to begin playing every video, which I don't want. I also already have "When you open a link, image or media in a new tab, switch to it immediately" unchecked.
