1769525 - Mouse clicks on a loading page conflict with autoplay

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

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

Description

[cippo1995]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Fedora; Linux x86_64; rv:100.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/100.0

Steps to reproduce:

My settings should block videos and audio autoplay.

1. Take a page with videos
2. While the page is loading click anywhere in the page (left or right mouse button)

You can try this with Twitch, YouTube, for what I have seen anywhere with videos.

Actual results:

Videos won't be blocked.

Expected results:

Videos should still be blocked, or I think they should, if I'm wrong tell me.
You can load the page and see the videos be blocked, then reload and click anywhere and see they don't.

My settings should block videos and audio autoplay.

What settings? Can you post your about:support text?

Firefox's settings, the autoplay ones.
I have attached the about:support.
I have tried it also with a clean Firefox installation.
Please try it also yourself, is not difficult: just click once with your mouse in the page while the page is loading.

I have noticed that also pressing pretty much any key on the keyboard will trigger this (esc, alt, shift... "function keys in general" do not trigger this).

This is desired behavior. we have some prefs than can control better if you like.
