Running Android 10 on Samsung A51 with Firefox (Daylight?) 80.1.3. I read news (via 1stHeadlineNews) and have Autoplay turned off (Settings > Site Permissions > Autoplay > Block audio and video)... but CBS News articles seem to always play the attached video at the head of the article. Besided not clicking on a CBS link, is there some way to 'force' autoplay setting to work?

I second that. I don't have an UNLIMITED DATA plan on my SmartPhone and it is now costing me money to use Firefox!
