User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.14; rv:78.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/78.0
Steps to reproduce:
The autoplay settings under about:preferences allow users to change between media.autoplay.default 0, 1, and 5.
But they seem to rely on media.autoplay.blocking_policy 0 or 1, when we can get better though still inadequate blocking with media.autoplay.blocking_policy 2.
Expected results:
Maybe they should allow a 4th setting for "Block Audio and Video, and Ignore Gestures," where:
"Allow Audio and Video" would set default 0, blocking policy 0.
"Block Audio" would set default 1, blocking policy 0.
"Block Audio and Video" would set default 5, blocking policy 0.
Block Audio and Video, and Ignore Gestures" would set default 5, blocking policy 2.
Note that this will still NOT be enough to block all autoplay on all sites.
