Until today the options for stopping videos auto playing worked OK, suddenly they don't work at all. I had changed all the settings in about:config - please see screen shot attached - a couple of weeks ago when they suddenly started auto playing and that solved the issue, but now I am back to square one. Even when I have ensured that the autoplay option is changed in the preferences section they are still auto-playing. Any suggestions please as this is driving me crazy!
Thanks in advance for your help. It is much appreciated.

Since a week, Firefox won't start. This problem concerns only my wife's profile on our iMac (10.13.6).
Firefox goes fine on my profile (administrator) and on a "test" profile I specially created to test Firefox.
On my wife's profile (the problematic one), a crash report window appears every single time.
I tried to boot in Safe mode. It is impossible to even boot that way. When I click the to start in Safe mode, the crash window appears.
I deleted Firefox and reinstalled it. No solutions there either.
I ran a malware detector. Flashback malware was detected and destroyed.
Here is a copy of the detailed error message :

Thanks for nay advice that could help me solve this problem.
how do I recover my passwords and saved logins deleted by update?
The update deleted all my saved data. My saved log-ins passwords are gone. There is no file on the desktop with saved old firefox data.
What do I do with the ca3phnff.default-1533205453525 folder?
I pressed reset Firefox I found that folder in old firefox data folder I've already tried uninstalling and reinstalling so Firefox can find it's profile … (meer info)
I pressed reset Firefox
I found that folder in old firefox data folder
I've already tried uninstalling and reinstalling
so Firefox can find it's profile
The bookmarks and history system will not be functional because on of Firefox's files is in use by another application.
I cannot access my old bookmarks, and I cannot make new ones. So I restarted, no change. So I ran in Safe mode, no change, uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled, no change… (meer info)
I cannot access my old bookmarks, and I cannot make new ones.
So I restarted, no change. So I ran in Safe mode, no change, uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled, no change. I made a new profile and it worked!! BUT I moved my passwords and it was fine then I tried to move my bookmarks and it happened again so i created a third profile but now the logins.json does not show up on the new profile so I cannot move the passwords so I am right back where I was.
I have been working on this for days. So irritating.

I thought this might be a Windows issue, but it appears more likely to be a Firefox problem...... Almost every time Firefox updates itself on one of my several PCs (a Dell), all of my saved logins are removed.
After some checking, I found that the actual logins file had been changed from "logins.json" to "logins.json.corrupt".
Why Firefox is doing this is anybodies guess, but it may have something to do with the actual passwords themselves containing characters that it doesn't like.......
Easy resolution - find the "corrupt" file and rename it!
Using Windows Explorer, you will need to make hidden files visible, then go to (User)>Appdata>Roaming>Mozilla>Firefox>Profiles>(71r822oe.*********), then scrol down to "logins.json.corrupt" - select, rename, "logins.json", agree to the change warning, and exit. All now works as before.

Please, Mozilla - can you try and stop this happening in the first place ?
