Reporting back: this document no longer exists. 🙄

As seen on Mastodon, by @zigg:

@zigg

1. Go to `about:config` and convince it that you know what you’re doing.

2. Search for `media.autoplay.default`.

3. Double-click `0` and enter `1` if you want to always block, or `2` if you want to be prompted for every site that tries to autoplay (which can help with some sites that don’t work quite right with blocked autoplay.)

4. Enjoy your significantly-more-pleasant browsing experience!

@bobstechsite suggests the following solution for the high DPI problem on laptops:

@bobstechsite

1. Go to `about:config`

2. search for `layout.css.devPixelsPerPx`

3. set it to a positive value, e.g. 1.3
