I am running SM 2.2.1 on XP Pro. When I go to sites like

the video starts playing and I would rather have it so I could
click to
play if desired. In about :config I have  plugins.click_to_play set to
true??  Is there a setting to disable the auto play?

If it does not depend on a plug-in (e.g., is native HTML 5 <video>),
then one would not expect a configuration parameter specific to
plugs-in to have any effect.  How about media.autoplay.enabled ?

Please bottom post. :)

I just installed SM 2.21 to test this site, because I could not
duplicate the problem in Firefox 25.0b3. In fact none of the videos (all
Flash) would not play at http://abcnews.go.com/video with Firefox.

I find the same occurs with this SeaMonkey. Flash is enabled, no ad
blocking, cookies accepted. Videos play at all other sites I tested.

Video plays here immediately on page loading, as the OP complains.

Have you checked your Flash installation? I have
     Shockwave Flash 11.8.800.168
     Shockwave for Director 12.0.4.144

Or was that double negative ("none... would not play") intended as a
positive?

I have the same versions of flash and when right clicking on the video
it shows Kaltura video player??

That's what ABC uses to show vids. But if you look at the rest of the context menu you should also see options for Adobe's Flash player.

If Flash is OK, then the next place I'd look is an ad blocker or firewall to see if they're blocking it.
