How to stop video autoplay?
There are a few sites out there like abcnews.com that automatically start videos. I've googled, and can't find how to stop this. I primarily use Firefox with ........ I'm sure it's easy and someone can let me know.....
Thanks,

This seems to be doing the trick for now, thanks!
Thanks! I tried the first method mentioned here, but it didn't work. Flashblock seems to do what I want.
What tipped me over the edge was that I couldn't pause the damn videos on ABC news anymore.

I just wish people who put up web content would not be so annoying. I'm really quite over websites that have the dadburned useless meebo bar clogging up the screen. Don't get me started on websites that put an obnoxious bar on the top that does nothing but steal screen real estate.

Use NoScript. No one should surf the web without it (unless you enjoy 3rd party advertisers running JavaScript to track you all over the internet).
