videos.</p>
<p>I use an (old) Apple PowerBook G4 (7450) with Mac OS 10.5.8 and
TenFourFox 17.0.3.</p>
<p>On Firefox I can do that for Flash videos with Flashblock
add-on: YouTube or Vimeo videos do not load nor do not play unless
I click the extension icon and unblock them. That saves a lot of
time (background tabs loading videos pages) and CPU power. I do not
watch videos on YouTube of Vimeo, I use youtube-dl to download them
and VLC to play them. On TenFourFox I can not do that: YouTube
player notices there is no Flash, switches to the HTML5 version,
loads video files and starts to play them.</p>
<p>Is there a way for TenFourFox to block HTML5 players video
loading or webM videos auto-play?</p></div>Pimentatag:tenfourfox.tenderapp.com,2012-01-07:Comment/254805982013-03-01T20:54:10Z2013-03-01T20:54:10Zblock webM auto play<div><p>Hello Pimenta,</p>
<p>I use the StopTube extension for YouTube html5.<br>
<a href=
"https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/stop-tube/">https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/stop-tube/</a><br>
It's a bit unpolished, but it works.</p>
<p>I don't use Vimeo that much (do they offer html5 at all?), so I
can't recommend anything for that, but there may be similar
extensions that work for any webm.</p></div>Chris (chtrusch)tag:tenfourfox.tenderapp.com,2012-01-07:Comment/254805982013-03-02T23:23:55Z2013-03-02T23:23:55Zblock webM auto play<div><p>Thanks, Chris.</p>
<p>I will try the StopTube extension.</p>
<p>Vimeo does not offer HTML5 webM, only H.264. Vimeo's video pages
notice TenFourFox has no Flash Player then display an error message
about it: "This video can't be played with your current setup.
Please switch to a browser that provides native H.264 support or
install Adobe Flash Player."</p></div>Pimentatag:tenfourfox.tenderapp.com,2012-01-07:Comment/254805982013-03-08T09:15:36Z2013-03-08T20:45:59Zblock webM auto play<div><p>I hope you tried StopTube before it stopped working (yesterday
or the day before) because of a YouTube change. Sorry, there's no
working alternative right now. Waiting for an updated version of
StopTube…<br>
Edit: StopTube was updated to 0.2.1 today, so the developer seems
to be quick. It's working again and also looking better.</p></div>Chris (chtrusch)tag:tenfourfox.tenderapp.com,2012-01-07:Comment/254805982013-03-26T03:14:47Z2013-03-26T03:14:47Zblock webM auto play<div><p>I tried StopTue after it stopped working and then forgot about
it -- no YouTube on TenFourFox for two weeks, I had to use Safari
with ClickToPlugin extension. Just noticed StopTube works again.
Thanks for the note!</p></div>Pimenta
