Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Developer Documentation Graveyard :: Mozilla Platform, defect, P3)

Description

[Janet Swisher]

From the enterprise mailing list (https://mail.mozilla.org/private/enterprise/2013-March/003063.html available only to subscribers):

That preference doesn't have any effect of click-to-play blocks. In
fact, it is set to false by default. When set to true, it makes *all*
plugins click-to-play.

Note that this preference is currently not exposed in the UI at all and not currently release-ready. Furthermore, it's meaning can still change, so i'm not sure if it makes sense to document it at this time.
