How can I prevent videos automatically start when I load a web site?

Recently web sites have begun to show me not only the first shot a video, but from the video automatically when the page is loaded (or when I scroll down to the part of the page where the video). This happens on sites of news (nytimes.com), facebook and other places. How can I prevent Autostart from happening?

I've got AdBlockPlus and NoScript activated, even though I have many sites NoScript whitelist. Videos to wait for me to click an arrow in the middle (like a "play" button) to start; some still do, but most don't. (I think an add-on is responsible for the play button, but I don't remember which).

Any suggestions?
Thank you.

Note that pages can also use the built-in player to HTML5 media instead of a plugin like Flash.

You can see who is used by right-clicking on the drive to open the context menu.
