Firefox autoplay controls can block sound or both sound and video. Start with the browser setting and inspect exceptions for the affected site before treating unexpected playback as a speaker, mouse or computer fault.
A quiet page suddenly becoming noisy is often a permission choice rather than an audio fault. Firefox autoplay settings distinguish media with sound from muted video. That is why blocking sound can still leave a page moving while you read, and why replacing headphones is unlikely to address the cause.
Open Firefox Settings, search for autoplay and select Block Audio and Video if you want to stop silent clips as well as sound. Check the site's exception if it keeps behaving differently. This is an R0 browser adjustment; establish whether clicking Play yourself works before spending on audio equipment.
Firefox's default choices include a sound block, a broader audio-and-video block and an allow option. Pick deliberately rather than selecting whichever label looks most restrictive at first glance. A site you use for music may deserve different treatment from a news page with incidental clips.
Save the setting and reload an affected page. Observe what happens before you click anything, then try deliberate playback. Those are different tests. If a video plays only after your click, the automatic-start problem may already be resolved even though the page still contains a player.
A website-specific permission can explain why one page behaves differently from the global default. Firefox's current permissions panel lets you clear a changed permission to restore the default. Avoid instructions for the retired Permissions Manager: old browser settings pages can describe interfaces that no longer apply.
Record which site you changed so you can undo it if necessary. There is no need to erase every cookie or sign out of unrelated services just to test an autoplay rule. If you use headphones for calls, compare gaming headsets only when you have identified a separate comfort or hardware requirement.
Try the same video with a deliberate click and check another trusted page. If both respond normally but one site starts media automatically, keep investigating the site permission. A button that does not respond in any application suggests a different issue from unwanted playback.
You can browse gaming mice if a physical click fault is independently repeatable, but do not use autoplay as evidence that the mouse is broken. For an SA household on a limited data plan, stopping unnecessary clips may also be useful; it does not establish a guaranteed data saving because pages can load content in other ways.
Block Audio can allow silent playback. Use Block Audio and Video when you also want to stop muted autoplay.
Open Firefox Settings and search for autoplay. Open its settings and choose the default behaviour you want.
Yes. Site-specific exceptions can override the default. Check the affected website before changing the global choice again.
No. Autoplay permission controls automatic starting. Test a deliberate click on Play separately from an unsolicited start.
No hardware purchase is required to change this browser permission. Check settings first if deliberate playback sounds normal.
Firefox may not show it when that site has no changed default permissions. The absence of an icon does not prove missing settings.

Firefox zoom changes a page or its text size, and can be remembered for that site. Reset a distorted page before changing display resolution, then choose a readable size without assuming you need a replacement monitor.
