OT: Does anyone know of a setting or extension for Firefox to stop those autoplaying videos? I have gifs disabled, prefers-reduced-motion on, and those videos in that article both autoplay, and start again after pausing them manually. I have no idea what the article is about (except what the title says) because I kept getting distracted by the annoying videos.

Settings => Search for "Autoplay" => Click "Settings..." => For "Default for all websites" select "Block Audio and Video".

    Thank you, I could have sworn I had that active, but for some reason it was "audio only".

      The about:config settings which you can look up:

          media.autoplay.blocking_policy
    media.autoplay.default

      I have mine set to 2 and 5 respectively.
