1522923 - Turn off blocking autoplay on Beta

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Audio/Video: Playback, defect, P2)

Description

[Alastor Wu [:alwu][PTO until 12/16]]

According to our discussion, we would enable blocking autoplay feature via roll-out, not just fliping on the pref.

Therefore, we would turn off the pref again on Feb 25th, which gives us 4 weeks on and 3 weeks off on Beta. And then use Normandy to turn the feature on step by step.

We would enable blocking autoplay feature via roll-out (Normandy), not just fliping on the pref.

Therefore, we would turn off the pref on Beta on Feb 25th, which gives us 4 weeks on and 3 weeks off on Beta. And then use Normandy to turn the feature on step by step.
