If you are talking about youtube videos, please try the following extension: Youtube Autoplay Stopper

No not for YouTube but for any downloaded video. Is there something in about:config I can change?

You can try disabling "media.autoplay.enabled" property in about:config. But I am afraid this may only valid for html5.
