I have this problem that started a few days ago and I don't know why!
The thing is if I go to a site with videos, they start playing (the sound not the image) all together at the same time. Not in youtube! In youtube if I clic a video they start twice, I mean the image is one but the sound is as if I had opened the same video in another page (twice the sound, one on top of the other).
Please forgive my english, I hope you had understood.
Can you give me a hand here, many thanks in advance.
cheers

There is an entry in about:config named media.autoplay.enabled
Try disabling that one, see if it helps.

Sorry but I don't know how I go to that file. If you could explain me I would be much appreciated, thanks.

Just type "about:config" in the address bar of Abrowser. A malfunctioning add-on may be the cause of the problem too: try deactivating them and see.

Thank you so much SuperTramp83. That hint changed all. Now there are no problems and the videos don't start automatically as they were. And in youtube there are no "ecoes" any more. Many many thanks, and a lot of respect about your availability.
This problem just started I think when I was upgrading abrowser, I didn't clic on any button! How would I know were to start? I didn't know about about:XXX.
Many many thanks again!

Doesn't Abrowser come with an extension to play YouTube videos? It could be that YouTube's own player isn't being properly blocked by it. If that's the case, disabling JavaScript should solve the problem.
