Back to Firefox - sudden loud noise

(1/3) > >>

MilesAhead:
After doing Chromium for some time I'm back to Firefox/Waterfox as my primary browsers. Anyway, Chromium did have a built in multi-media blocker. Just disable all plugins.  I don't know what you guys are using, but Stop AutoPlay seems to work.

Just thought I'd post because when I first tried to get it on mozilla, it showed it as discontinued by author. But it's still available for download from Softpedia:

Stop AutoPlay Firefox Extension

You may want to try it before it's pulled down.

I've just started using it. One thing I noticed is download of audio files, like for radio shows that make podcast and mp3 of the show available, may be blocked also unless you add the site to the white list. (The links where you would normally "save link as" don't even show up if the files are blocked.)

eleman:
I use this.

f0dder:
Media autoplay is blocked here by a combination of NoScript, AdBlockPlys and not having the Flash plugin installed - when I need some flash stuff, it's not much bother firing up Chrome for that specific occasion :)

MilesAhead:
I use Selector



 to pass a page to a different browser when the current one doesn't have the facility. But in this case only Opera wanted to show the links on the site in question. I had to get rid of NoScript to see them in FF or install Opera just for that site. I don't like Opera enough to install just for that. If it already happens to be on, then fine. :)

Whoever is doing the page must have a lame scripting style. There were buttons to play Podcast crap but if you just wanted to download mp3 there were no links. I had to send the dude an email.

mouser:
I use the more general NoScript, which disables all sorts of things from running until you manually enable them on a page.
