- Rated 1 out of 5by Braden's PC's, 9 years agoThis blocks a lot of videos, and even entire channel pages, from loading in YouTube. Even if you tell it to not block anything on the page you are on, it still prevents them from loading. I am disabling this addon for now, I will remove it entirely if it isn't updated in a timely manner to not do this in FF 57.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13486900, 9 years agoit's a stupid addon,if you let it on,it stop the player when you click the play button over and over
- Rated 4 out of 5by Ashby, 9 years agoSeems to work for me...it does break some websites--but so does the built-in FIrefox preference in about:config. This at least lets you whitelist sites that break...
Really this addon shouldn't be necessary--Mozilla should add click-to-play html5 video built-in, like they have for Flash... - Rated 1 out of 5by owintwist, 9 years agoFait bugger beaucoup de choses, à commencer par les vidéos elles-même et rends les userScripts (via GreaseMonkey) totalement inutilisables.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13454361, 9 years agoDoesn't seem to prevent autoplay at most sites. Not even at big sites like Youtube - you'd think that it would be the first place to test an add-on like this, but oh well.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13421951, 9 years agoCan't play videos at all with the add-on enabled now.

- Rated 2 out of 5by trashcanbin10, 9 years agoTwitch being the worst affected. Video doesn't load at all when it's not whitelisted.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13370016, 9 years agoDo the job on some website (not all), but breaks some others too, and sometime adblocks.

- Rated 5 out of 5by A.Sawicki, 9 years agoAs of a week ago (8th September) it doesn't seem to work with YouTube videos any more. It is a real shame as I've found the add-on to be very useful, and I hope this issue can be fixed quickly. Come on, dev, we know you can do this! ;·)

No, seriously, they try to load and play their videos in at least a half dozen ways .... - Rated 3 out of 5by Proc, 9 years agoDisable preloading doesn't work.
Non autostart works well on youtube, I like the option to enable/disable it at any point without having to go the plugins page - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 12762356, 9 years agoIt simply doesn't work with the BBC News site. I've removing this pile of junk!
- Rated 1 out of 5by Aemony, 9 years agoUse the built-in feature in Firefox instead:
1. Type about:config in the address bar and hit Enter.
2. Accept the warning to continue.
3. Search for media.autoplay.enabled and change the value to false by double-clicking on the row.
Enjoy your much better solution all through a built-in feature! - Rated 1 out of 5by Tina C., 9 years agoInstalled it, tried to test at this link:

And guess what? The adds autoplayed, the video autoplayed. The add-on simply doesn't work. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13092968, 9 years ago
