Since apparently bug 1499441 is "WORKSFORME" because it is about muting, I file this issue to request that the user be able to block *autoplay*, sound or not. Auto playing video is a nuisance. If I (the user) don't want a video to autoplay, I don't want.
Bug 1499441 has some examples.
Set pref "media.autoplay.allow-muted=false" then you can block muted video as well.

It seems to work better, but why is this hidden there (I had media.autoplay.enabled set to FALSE for quite a while now)
I've added it on the whiteboard of bug1376321 in order to let people notice about this pref, thanks!
