Auto play blocking is no longer working.

media.autoplay.block-event.enabled true media.autoplay.blocking_policy 3 [tried 2] media.autoplay.default 5 [tried values]

Anyone have good values that block auto playing videos?

What site is it not working on? What OS? What Desktop? X11 or Wayland?

The blocking policy = 2 was the right one to use. It can cause a problem on some sites.

Try adding these : media.block-autoplay-until-in-foreground = false media.autoplay.allow-extension-background-pages = false

See https://wiki.mozilla.org/Media/block-autoplay "... this mechanism [blocking_policy = 2] might cause some websites not be able to play any media, if they request playing from async handlers."
