Is This a Abrowser Bug?
Every webpage on the internet that has a video or audio file will begin playing giving me a headache before I can mute the tab(s) - Even my website does this so this is not about annoying ads.
The only other similar experience of this problem was when in "Firefox" [windows 7 OS] ads would autoplay; but this is different in Abrowser. I searched the https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/abrowser-help or https://trisquel.info/en/project/issues
and I didn't find this problem listed.
I have searched the Abrowser settings and haven't found a solution.
I am wondering if this can be solved from the command line?
YAY - I found a solution from a tutorial!
1) Enter "about:config" into the URL bar.
2) If you get a warning message about "This might void your warranty!" continue on.
3) Now, type "autoplay" into the search box.
4) This will bring up a preference named "media.autoplay.enabled." Double-click it so that the preference changes to False.
And from what I see at my website it works!
Very nice. It's an annoying thorn indeed.
