New comment by joe_the_user in "Firefox banning noisy video from autoplaying"

Yes,

I've use Firefox for years and disabled autoplay for years. I don't even block adds otherwise. This Firefox cycle actually seems to be about enabling autoplay in a multitude of fashions. Where once I had to toggle one variable, now I have to research and change a dozen poorly documented variables in about:config.

The latest change was: Setting media.autoplay.enabled.user-gestures-needed to false. How much sense does that make? But it disabled wordpress' video where the six other tweaks didn't. At least you can find all this stuff searching for "autoplay". Still, who know how deep this will wind-up going.
