    Is there a way to stop videos and audio from autoplaying? Browsing kbin on Firefox mobile and it keeps randomly playing some unknown audio.

      Ever find a fix for this? News videos keep autoplaying for me on Firefox mobile, even before I scroll to the post in the feed

        Sadly I haven’t yet, the same think happens to me, random news videos autoplaying, even when not on screen yet. I’m fairly confident there’s no setting to turn off video autoplay on kbin. Sadly even if you tell Firefox to not autoplay videos the videos continue to play, the Firefox mobile settings seem to be limited in that respect though.

        I wonder if turning it of on the desktop browser site settings and then syncing will fix it.

          Hrmm I think I have automedia preview set to on. I’ve turned it off and will see if this fixes it. I say think as the UI for the kbin page settings isn’t super clear what’s on and what’s off …

            Err well that maybe worked but it also stopped all images loading in the feed so not really helpful

              Yes, I think that’s where the problem may lie, loading images has been intertwined with video autoplay
