They compare the differences in autoplay behavior between their work and home instances of Firefox, which led to the discovery of the media.autoplay.blocking_policy preference. The author explains how they historically used this setting to prevent Youtube videos from autoplaying, but with Youtube’s own autoplay disable feature, they changed the setting to allow autoplay. They mention the complexity of managing per-site autoplay settings and express their thoughts on the behavior of automatically moving to the next track in an album. Overall, the author provides insights into managing media autoplay in Firefox.
