Or is it a setting on my computer? Another forum I frequent shows the vids but I have to click play to watch them. Running XP and Firefox
Can I stop Youtube vids from auto-playing?

As far as I know, it's a setting on your end. I don't know of any YT settings like that on our side. Check your settings on YT and see if that helps.

Videos shouldn't be auto playing when embedded in a thread. When you visit the actual Youtube page, the video will autoplay. There is a setting in Firefox that can turn off certain media types from playing automatically.
Open a tab on Firefox and in the URL type: about:config
You'll get a neat message about messing things up. Of course, we're going to be careful. Press on.
In the search bar at the top of the screen, type: autoplay
You'll get one line that reads: media.autoplay.enabled
Double click on that line and it should read "False" for the value.
Close the tab and you're golden.
