Disable Autoplay for YouTube™ by Kelvin

Rated 2 out of 5
by Firefox user 12778646, 7 years agoI appreciate the effort that it takes to write plugins so no hating here, just comment on why this wasn't a solution for me. Firstly, as others have said, it takes a while to kick in. It plays a few seconds of the video before it is stopped. This is annoying (mostly for my neighbors). Secondly, the stopping pre-load feature effectively means that one has to click twice to start the video, once to stop pre-load and once to start the video. I used the suggestion that itge13 made in one of the comments (the simple change to the config file) and it works well, so I uninstalled this plugin. It needs a bit more work but on the other hand, the about:config method is quick, easy and works (in Firefox at least) so I see no point in further development.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Deathmatic, 2 months agoIt works just fine (latest browser, no problems with other extensions). The Only problem i see is that you sometimes have to click 2x to have it load and play. Another problem: In comparison to another browser, it loads the video about 4-5 Seconds, whereas the other Browser feels like it starts after 1-2 Seconds. But overall: it works so Videos don't start on their own. I don't know why YT did that BS and removed it, but that extension is definitely putting it back, despite a little bit of clunkiness.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Nobody, 2 years agoUsed to work, not anymore. Actually still works on one computer, but not on another one in the same room, no matter what I try. Bizarre!

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17656794, 2 years agoSo fucking sick of addons who only have one job and don't fucking do it or even get close. This exists solely to block autoplay. DOESN'T FUCKING DO THAT.

- Rated 5 out of 5by What???, 4 years agoThe ONLY one that works for FF! Even after 5.5 years. You have have restart FF before it works about half the time.
Now, why can't anyone else come up with another version that works ALL the time like they have on Chrome? - Rated 5 out of 5by Arisa85, 4 years ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by The_Oncoming_Storm, 4 years agoDoes nothing. No matter if it's on or off, videos will automatically play when the page loads and will not stop until you hit the pause button. How worthless.

- Rated 2 out of 5by mozmeister, 5 years agoIt used to work, but now, like other reviewers have said, it kills the YouTube channel home page entirely.
