Is there any way to stop websites from auto-playing their content (music/videos) when the page loads?
Certain websites have ads or content that plays music or videos and they are not always easily found to turn off. This also slows down my connection as it is constantly streaming or buffering and I have no way of stopping it. Is there any way that I can disable the websites from automatically playing their content?

Install an Ad blocker like this one: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/adblock-plus/
They have a good support forum too @ https://adblockplus.org/forum/ in case you need help to block audio on a site somewhere.
Is there any other options for this?
I don't want to block the audio/video, and I do use ad-blocker... However, it's just really annoying when I "open link in new tab" for something I want to look at a little later. Especially if I open several at once, I get multiple tabs playing audio and/or video, and sometimes it takes a while to figure out which tab is doing what...
The issue is I don't want to "block" them -- I just don't want them to play until either the tab is "activated" by clicking on it, or better yet, to only play when I click on the audio/video link.
Thanks! DroidLuvr
If it is Flash then try Flash Block.
