- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14915205, 2 sni iluThis extension is the source of many errors when logged on to cloud.google.com
Several extensions were disabled in Firefox while trying to track down the origin of the
"Oops! An unexpected problem occurred. Please refresh your browser."
messages when logged into cloud.oracle.com
Firefox 95.0.2 64 bit, the current latest version, on Windows 10.
This consistently occurs when choosing items from the menu at cloud.oracle.com
After disabling "Disable HTML5 Autoplay", the errors stopped.
Checking the Firefox Console, the error was always this url:
view-source:moz-extension://86436a12-f1b7-4665-ba83-101479f2641a/js/content_script.js
and this bit of code:
function injectScript() {
const domain = window.location.hostname;
const scriptFile = domain === 'www.youtube.com' || domain === 'gaming.youtube.com' ? 'youtube' : 'inject';
const script = document.createElement('script');
script.src = browser.extension.getURL(`js/${scriptFile}.js`);
document.documentElement.appendChild(script);
}
This code may be here due to numerous complaints about compatibility with youtube.
In any case, I have removed the extension, and the problems went away. - Rated 5 out of 5by 41444, 2 sni ilu

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13983075, 3 sni iluSince the late 70s and well into the 80s currently version 88 of Firefox I had a problem with most videos displaying the following message:
"This video This video cannot be played because of a technical error.(Error Code: 200001)"
I have no proxy set and all drivers are current.
Researching I found many having same or similar problems but nobody having a solution.
That was until I came across a locked and archived forum thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/techsupport/comments/aday21/video_error/
The last reply, by "SlickStretch" was the correct answer and solution.
"solved by disabling the extension: 'Disable HTML5 Autoplay.' Try disabling/removing this extension or any similar ones." - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14163698, 3 sni ilu
- Rated 3 out of 5by Chtiland, 3 sni iluWas working fine, but makes some videos unreadable (corrupt file, but ok when this plugin is disabled) really annoying.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 16795487, 3 sni iluThis used to work fine, but in the last few days it has started BLOCKING videos in Facebook and newspaper sites. Have to disable it in these sites if I want to see videos, but then they autoplay, which is precisely why I NEED the extension! The extension is now almost useless.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Gn. Cx, 3 sni iluPrevents Twitter videos from looping when they reach the end, which is what I wanted it to do. Also prevents IMDb videos from playing at all. And I suspect this extension might be somewhat CPU-heavy when simultaneously acting on multiple tabs, too.
- Rated 2 out of 5by hotwasabi, 3 sni iluWorks on some sites, but I can't get it to save the list of sites I want it disabled on. Removing this. Please update this add-on!
- Rated 5 out of 5by BVJI, 3 sni iluExcellent add-on. Firefox's autoplay settings don't seem to have any effect on many websites; this one does the trick. Thank you for making it.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Wildrat, 4 sni iluIt did not disable autoplay on Tubi. Nothing else has stopped autoplay on Tubi without breaking manual playback.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Nova, 4 sni iluThis is a blessing! As a person with ADD this really helps me stay focused. This works for websites where Firefox by default doesn't offer disabling autoplay.
