Certain homepages (e.g. viofo. com) cause to download and play their videos right away without asking for one's consent. I thought that was due to using the Chrome browser (tried in vain to stop this in the settings of Chrome and Android). Having changed to Firefox browser for Android has not improved this experience yet. Can one switch off the auto video download in Firefox?

Firefox Android requires my device password in order to view saved passwords, which suggests that passwords are encrypted at rest. However, it can also autofill passwords in webpages without requiring a device password to be entered. This suggests that passwords are unencrypted, at least while the phone is unlocked? (Unsure if device lock state matters.)

I'm wondering, at an app-data level, when are passwords encrypted vs unencrypted?

(Normally Android apps' data are hidden from other processes in secure containers, but certain privileged processes (e.g. especially on a rooted device) can still access this app data. So, I'm wondering if decrypted password data is ever stored in the app's data folder, or does decryption happen exclusively in-memory, or am I misunderstanding it and there's a secret third explanation?)
