Yup, spot on.

Gotta give it to ya Steve, that was dead easy, and an instant fix.
Grateful thanks for showing how it's done ... those GUI apps are a bit
light on in the manpage department.

Just in case, I've deselected the Block HTML5 video as well option
under General. It has not yet done any obvious harm.

I only get 15GB/mo, so I set ALL videos to not play by default.

Although ISTR that I only have a third of that allocation, I've never
used it all, so the auto-start isn't a big deal for me.

That linear motor idea is a doozy. The only tricky thing is getting the bare
copper wire - all mine is lacquer insulated winding wire, and that stuff
is not easy to remove.

converting everything to HTML5.
It would also seem that others have a better clue as to what is going on
than I do.

  I have to try this.
 
 Does anyone know if You-tube has recently set up some ad-blocker
 detection and viewer lock-out? For several years I've been 
 clicking on a
 curved 'f' symbol to get the triangle to start viewing clips. (Since
 setting some pop-up blocker in firefox, AFAIR) Since January, You-tube
 clips have refused to start, no matter how many times I click 
 on the 'f'
 - Unless I'm reaching You-tube via another site, such as a link on a
 newspaper site. Then it works fine - because they can't see my pop-up
 blocker?
 
 It didn't concern me that Vimeo never worked for me, but blocked right
 from the first attempt, but You-tube is quite a loss. All other sites
 are working fine.
 
 I've been through firefox's about:config, and the only likely item is:
 
 browswer.popups.showPopupBlocker
 
 which is now set to False, but You-tube still locks me out.
 
 I suppose I could do an apt-get remove --purge firefox, to clear the
 config as well ... if I have to. Any ideas?
