I like to open CNN http://www.cnn.com first thing, read the headlines of

Problem is, CNN doesn't believe the readers know how to read and that
they want to watch videos. I don't. I want to read the stories.
I wind up with a cacophony of videos, and I have to find them one by one
before I can find peace.
Is there a way of shutting down the videos unless/until I want to see
them?
Thanks.

What is that site using to send the videos? Is it a plugin or HTML5? If
a plugin is being used, you could set up Plugins Click-to-Play, mark the
plugins as "Ask to Activate", and you should get placeholders that have
to be cleared before any can load and play. If it is HTML5, you may
have to set up Flashblock 1.5.19a1 and set it to block HTML5. It has to
be converted to install in SeaMonkey. You have to get that version of
Flashblock from Mozdev.

The converter is here:

Several pages start playing a video as soon as the page loads. I
installed the converted Flashblock, as suggested, then found this
statement in the Flashblock details: "Flashblock does not work with
Javascript disabled or with NoScript installed." I have NoScript
installed as a vital security measure, and indeed the Flashblock didn't
work. Is there any other means of preventing immediate playing of
videos in pages such as this:
