Firefox Will Soon Free You From Autoplay Hell

Do you hate going to a site and immediately a video will load and start playing? I do too!!! Firefox intends to stop that from happening! YEAH!!!

I had seen that recently.

You can also stop that with Chrome but it take a little work.

News sites are a PITA with auto play videos. For those of us with slow connections it slows things even more.
