The preference "media.autoplay.default" should show up, and its value should be “0,” which will permit autoplaying videos. Double-click the value and change it to one of the following
1: Block all autoplay videos
2: Get asked on a by-domain basis about whether or not to autoplay videos
I have "Media autoplay default" set to 1
