You can do click-to-play HTML5 videos with NoScript.

Can't do that with UMatrix.

FYI you can actually use both NoScript and UMatrix at the same time.

You don't need an extension for that. Go to about:config and set media.autoplay.enabled to false.

Spent a lot of time on this, so:

NoScript ("allow first-party scripts" and block everything in "Embeddings" tab) + FlashBlock seem to be the only way to block all autoplaying crap in Firefox for me.

You can also add uMatrix, uBlock & RequestPolicy and surprisingly they don't conflict with each other!
