Fixit7,

Please see your PM's. You were asked to change your posting pattern in order to enable LQ members to better help you. My previous PM contained some suggestions, which you acknowledged but then seem to have ignored. Thanks.

Hi Andy...

If you're referring to Adblock Plus, to my knowledge, it doesn't block videos from starting. If you're using Firefox, you can try this extension. Also, another way of handling this can be found here. :)

To do this for all video formats in Firefox, without plugins, enter about:config in the address bar, find, or create if necessary a boolean attribute media.autoplay.enabled and set it to false.

all of the above ,and DID YOU READ THE INSTRUCTIONS

also ad block pulse does NOT stop scripts of javascript
nor all "iframe's" with video

use "no-script" or the EFF's "privacy Badger"
and READ!!!! the instructions on there use
