Block of videos on websites (or content ads) auto play on a macbook pro

Web sites that contain videos as part of their content or video ads play automatically. I want all the websites, videos, etc. to ask my permission to play the video, like when websites want to open new tabs or redirect. Is there a setting for this, or should I just get rid of Firefox?

You can manage videos that play in the plugins by changing to allow all websites use Flash automatically for your approval to run. Would you do this change on the page modules. Either:

  • Command + shift + a
  • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

In the left column, click on Plugins. Then switch the permission for Shockwave Flash on 'ask to activate '.

Now, when you visit a site that wants to use the Flash, you should see a notification icon in the address bar (looks like a Lego block) and one of the following: a link in a black rectangle in the page or an information bar slides between the toolbar and in the page area. You can simply ignore it until you think you have to play something, and then enable Flash.

What do you think? Is that enough controls?

  • YouTube and WebMs are weird when trying to play automatically (details inside), but using Flash to load videos on websites like DailyMotion works very well.

    It started a few days ago, possibly coinciding with the update to 41.0.1.

    If I upload a video on Youtube, or load a WebM, the video shows that it is set to 'play', as it is supposed to and it loads as usual, but does not in fact, time just 0:00. If I pause and re-activate it or move the timer, he plays as usual. Also, if I load a Youtube video from a referral link on the page of a video that I've played, this happens. This does not happen on sites like DailyMotion who only use Flash instead of HTML5.

    Is there a solution for this? Even if I had to force Youtube to play with Flash instead of HTML5, it won't fix problems with WebMs.

    You can accept the warning and click on "I'll be careful" to continue.

  • How can I prevent videos from website run automatically?

    I run Media Center live and recorded tv in a small window during the visit of my favorite sites.  Many of the websites have articles I want to read as well as the same information in the form of a video (complete with ads).  I would like to know if there is a way to prevent, audio and video on websites to run automatically in Windows 7?  The audio portion of videos runs simultaneously with audio of Media Center what the audio of the two useless.

    I do however sometimes, visit video sites like Hulu and network sites to watch streaming tv shows of old and would need to be able to turn on audio/video on these Web sites.

    What is a setting in Windows or in the browser?  I usually use IE 11 for web browsing, but if there is another browser that offers more control over the audio/video Web sites I could without browsers.

    You can't control that, sorry.  Only the person who programmed the site can decide how the site works.  Or they can give you the control to choose, if they built these options on their Web sites.

    I have a macbook pro. Firefox has performed well for years, but after downloading firefox 3.6.15 I can't run all videos from web sites like you tube or Itunes.

    Loading the web page, but the video window does not show at the top, nor all the controls

  • Stop auto play of video in Safari on the Sierra?

    I upgraded to Sierra and I used to be able to use a fantastic extension called ClickToFlash, which would replace all the Flash on a web page with a white window and I would click above to load the Flash content.

    This extension does not work on Sierra I am looking for an alternative.

    In my view, there ClickToPlugin but after installing it, YouTube videos are all black screens and I do not see the drop down choices of media. So it seems that it is watered.

    I can't use Safari if I can't stop Auto playing every single video on each web page. Anyone know anything else?

    Thank you!

    He can still work... try this.

    Open system preferences > Flash Player and select the Advanced tab, and then click clear all under settings and navigation data.

    Then quit and relaunch Safari and then test ClickToFlash.

  • How to you turn off auto-play the HTML5 videos in Safari?

    How to you turn off auto-play the HTML5 videos in Safari?

    I speak not of advertising videos.  It seems that there is a new trend that sites add the AutoPlay videos as part of their normal textual content.  It's really annoying to try to read the article and have this semi-connexes video game.

    Is there a Safari Extension or a hidden setting I'm not about to stop video AutoPlay altogether?

    Thank you

  • How can I add music and videos to my MacBook Pro to my Mini2 iPad without the synchronization process remove my existing music and videos?

    I tried to add videos to my 2 my MBP Mini iPad.

    When I hit the sync button, I'm alerted that this will remove the existing music and video on my iPad. How to prevent this?

    Hi Houston1863,

    I understand that you want videos you have on your MacBook Pro to add to your iPad.  Synchronization is a way to do it, but if you've never synced to your iTunes library before, you will get the message that you see.  The first thing I would say is that you back up your iPad if you do not already so.

    Then try a different approach to file sharing between your devices.  It is called AirDrop, and here's how it works:

  • "MacBook pro late 2013 15" blocks all the "Tine"

    Hello

    My MacBook pro late 2013 running El Capitan crashes without displaying message. Often when coding using Webstorm (very likely to be blocked), but even when you use the Sublime text or only browsers. I usually have a browser running (accidents that happened with firefox all there are chrome and safari) and a database driver.

    This was already the case with the previous operating system, I've updated to El Capitan, and it changed nothing.

    PRAM, SCM returns several times. Ran Diagnostics, any problem found. Brought to the Apple store where they performed different tests: no problems found.

    He comes off abruptly, sometimes the crazy fan, the screen is black. I can shut myself off or it turns off completely by itself.

    In the newspapers, I see no log corresponding to the date and time of the accident.

    Look at this link:

    If there is a kernel panic report, post it.

    Ciao.
