Is there any way to stop HTML5 videos from starting automatically when
the page loads with YouTube? Flashblock is not working very well with
YouTube and SeaMonkey. Surely there must be some setting in
about:config that would either prevent autostart of HTML5, or
alternatively, force YouTube to send Flash instead.
EE, in the thread "Setting up SM for HTML5" I sort advice for exactly
the opposite to you, I wanted HTML5 whenever possible.
I was sent to https://www.youtube.com/html5 and set that up to send me
HTML5 whenever possible.
So it would seem to me that you want the opposite, so maybe if you set
that screen up to always use "Default", i.e. not HTML5, you might get
what you want.
I solved the problem by getting an extension to force the use of Flash
instead.
Is that

?
That's the one.
Thanks. I wished there was a general one, not just for YouTube.
