Don't want Vimeo link to autoplay when returning to the page

I just embedded code from Vimeo to play a video when you click on the link. This generally works fine in all browsers I've tried, however, if I go to another page (using Firefox) on the same website that the Vimeo link is on and then return to the page that contains the embedded Vimeo code, the video starts playing automatically.

I do not ever want a video or audio file to automatically play when I or any of our viewers go to a page. It doesn't do that in IE or Opera, or Chrome - why Firefox?
