Librewolf Not Showing Embedded Video

I noticed that embedded video and some embedded images do not show in Librewolf. I can’t seem to find a Librewolf setting that would rectify this.

Firefox:

Not too sure but does this have anything to do with it?

Nope, but I found it. I saw others on an older Ubuntu topic with the same issue. It was “Autoplay” in settings:

All embedded video/images now display properly

@smokey’s solution resolves it on a per-site basis (confirmed with testing).

A good option if you don’t want to blanket permit what is sometimes obnoxious background music on websites :wink:

Remember those situations where you’d have a mass of tabs open, and one of them starts playing music? BUT WHICH ONE? :sweat_smile:

autoplay? that’s it? I see it occasionally in LibreWolf since ubo, to me personally, is a wholly useless/too passive extension. [I have noscript as the real enforcer and can operate video playback from there.]

Man sometimes you have to read one thread, sometimes 7-8 to find the answer. Congrats.

Cool, yer I was reading the faq and found it was controlled there and when i looked at the screenshots noticed it was the difference
