As of August 2022, Firefox blocks all media with sound from playing automatically, by default. If you want Audiomovers.com to automatically play media or make other changes to your autoplay settings, you can use one of the methods below.
1. Always allow or block media autoplay
To always allow or block autoplay for all media with audio or video:
- In the Menu bar at the top of the screen, click Firefox and select Preferences.
- Select the Privacy & Security panel and go down to the Permissions section (or enter autoplay in the Find in Settings search box).
- Click the Settings button next to Autoplay.
- Use the Default for all websites drop-down menu to select how you want Firefox to handle media autoplay for all websites.
- The default Block Audio setting will prevent autoplay for all media with sound.
- The Block Audio and Video setting will prevent autoplay for all media, including video, even though audio is muted.
- The Allow Audio and Video setting will allow all media to autoplay.
After you have made your selection, click Save Changes.
- The setting you select will apply to all media for all websites, except for specific autoplay site settings.
2. Site Settings
- When Firefox is actively blocking media on a website, you'll see a special icon appear in the address bar. Click that icon to open the Site Information drop-down panel, where you can change the Autoplay setting for that website.
Note: You can also change the Autoplay setting for a website from the Page Info window Permissions panel (uncheck Use Default under Autoplay and select a different setting).
