prevent autoplay videos on yahoo
I have every about:config and settings option set to recommended to prevent autoplay videos. NONE work with yahoo. The vids will drop to the lower right hand corner but even if I click on the close window X they still pop open again. And again. And again. Is there a solution to this arrogant, self-centered behaviour by yahoo?

You can look at these prefs in about:config to see what settings work for you to block media auto-play.
- media.autoplay.default = 5 [0:allow;1:blockAudible;5:blockAll]
- media.autoplay.blocking_policy = 2
- media.autoplay.allow-extension-background-pages => false
- media.autoplay.block-event.enabled => true
- media.block-autoplay-until-in-foreground
You can open about:config via the address/location bar. You can read the warning and click "Accept the Risk and Continue".
cor-el. You obviously didn't read my post. I clearly wrote "NONE work with yahoo." I use v133.0 FF
Example video would be nice. What version of Firefox? What OS?
