Details

If I open a page with video (eg. Yahoo! Sports) then restart the session, that video starts playing automatically when the browser comes back up. With 30-40 tabs open this becomes a real problem as it's hard to locate which tab is playing the video. It also interferes with whatever music I might be playing through iTunes. If it's possible, I'd like for those videos to not automatically play when the session is restored.
That's not something we can really solve at a session restore level, though there are a couple options. 1. "don't load tabs until selected" (preferences > general) 2. click-to-play (coming soon to a browser near you, bug 549697 & co) Maybe for actual <video> tags we could do _something_, but not really for plugins.
