It is easy to stop autoplay in FireFox:

Type "about:config" without the quotes in the address window.

Tell it you will be careful with an OK.

Search for "media.autoplay.enabled"

Right click on Media.autoplay.enabled and it will toggle to false.

Close Firefox and log back on again.

Volia! No more autoplay!

Good Hunting... from Varmint Al

Thank you so much. I’ve been plagued by “autoplay” for a long time now.

Thanks.

Used to use Firefox but changed to Slimjet which is based on Chrome. Got anything for Chrome?

Wonderful - now, how do I turn off the 'touchpad' on a laptop...
