Mozilla plans to incorporate a protective feature in Firefox 66, which will isolate the audio to automatic replication.
The audio that plays automatically with a video is definitely one of the most annoying experiences users may have, especially when it's unexpected. Mozilla for this reason, starting with Firefox 66, will prevent websites from automatically playing audio.
Πρόκειται για ένα χαρακτηριστικό που ήδη υπάρχει στον Chrome από την έκδοση 64 και μετά. Έτσι και το Firefox θα μπλοκάρει τα μέσα αναπαραγωγής σε ιστότοπους, εάν η αναπαραγωγή sound on that site is enabled to play automatically. And it won't block anything if the playback media is muted.
Of course, you'll be able to set this feature through the About about: preferences # privacy page. There you have to go down to the Permissions section to enter your preferences.
The "Block websites from automatically playing sound" option determines whether automatic playback of audio media is blocked or not in the browser.
Clicking on button Exceptions opens the list of exceptions to the rule. You can add to the list sites that you allow to violate your setting.
Firefox users can also control the autoplay sound in the “info dialog” as well locations". Just click the “i” icon next to the website address to display options for controlling its behavior.
There you will find the new list of "autoplay sound" rights, if the site in the active tab tried to play a sound automatically.
Select "allow" to allow playback or "block" if the default setting in Firefox allows automatic audio playback.
Firefox users can block autoplay media through the permissions page about: config
- media.autoplay.blocked set it to 1 (means blocked).
- media.autoplay.enabled.user-gestures-needed set it to true.
- media.autoplay.allow-muted set it to false.
- media.autoplay.block-webaudio set it to true.
The above settings they differ from the default configuration, which simply disables autoplay of media with sound.
