Disable the autoplay of the embedded music and movie (mp3, wma, wmv, avi, mpg, rm...).

The users have 2 modes to choose:

Posted Image

Disable only the autostart of the embedded media. The users can press the play button of the controller to play it.
Block the media when loading a page. It will be replaced by a red frame. Press the red frame to load and then play it.

Stop Autoplay can also convert the IE-only HTML tag <bgsound> to the Gecko friendly <embed>.

Sometimes, the background music has no control panel and you have no way to play or stop it. If you like, Stop Autoplay will show a controller, size customized, in the right top corner of the page.

This extension can also convert the ie-only tag "bgsound" to "embed", and it can also block Flash media by a costumizable blacklist.

DEVELOPER COMMENTS
Stop Autoplay needs YOUR HELP!!

I don't have time to maintain Stop Autoplay. The extension is still buggy and the code needs to be rewritten, but that is beyond my ability. I am looking for someone to take over the development. If you are interesting in this extension, please leave your message on:
