Firefox Blocks Autoplaying Web Audio (engadget.com)

Posted by BeauHD on from the cease-and-desist dept.

Mozilla's latest Nightly builds for Firefox now include an option to mute autoplaying audio. The feature was recently added to the Chrome browser, but Mozilla's update offers a few more options. According to Engadget, "You can turn the feature off entirely, force it to ask for permission, and make exceptions for specific sites." Keep in mind that these are nightly releases, so you will most likely run into some bugs. The "polished version" is likely weeks away.

  1. Video pop-outs? by Train0987 · · Score: 3, Funny

    What's the easiest way to block the auto pop-out of videos when you scroll down? Whoever came up with that needs to be drug out back...

    "Hey, I want this annoying video at the top of the page to follow me when I scroll past it and block the text I came here to read." - said no one ever.
