Foxnews.com Audio Autoplay Is a Pain !

Foxnews.com seems to have changed something. I can defeat the video autoplay but as soon as any page loads audio commentary of the videos is blasting me out of the room. Can't seem to stop it.

Wanted to ask before I go changing a gazillion things that could just induce more problems...

Hello,

When Firefox for Desktop autoplay audio or video, an icon appears in the URL bar. Users can click on the icon to access the site information panel, where they can change the “Autoplay sound” permission for that site from the default setting of “Allow” to “Block”, then It will fix your problem.

Hope it works. Thank You.

I aver there is always something to be learned if we discard the ego and ask questions. Looks like the link you posted will solve this. Will get back to you. Thank You, my friend...
