      I just followed those steps and it worked perfectly on the OP link. Then I switched it back and got autoplay again.

      The path on android is hamburger menu > settings > privacy and security > site settings > autoplay

        Yup, I know where it is.
        I have also cleared exceptions list, cleared cache, reinstalled, but it still bugs out and this video still autoplays for me.
        I might try the nightly build ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

          Sheesh, sounds like you did all the basic troubleshooting already. Are you signing into a profile? Maybe it’s importing a setting from that

          I also ran the nightly for quite a while because I needed access to about:config and they’ve been locking it down for a while now. You can’t even open a local html file on firefox mobile anymore. I don’t really understand why they’re moving backwards.

          Anyway if you find a solution, I’d love to hear how you fixed it

              I just tried nightly too and I’m not getting that, what file is it trying to download?

              I do have a second video ad halfway down the screen that autoplays against my permissions. Installing ublock origin fixes that problem. Are you running ublock? Which video was auto playing for you? Ads really wont care what your settings are, but that’s why we block them entirely.
