Off topic, but NYT seems to be breaking things again. I have media.autoplay.enable set to false, yet all the videos on this article still autoplay. Better yet, if I change from true to false and then reload the page and scroll down firefox crashes when I reach the first video.
edit: ye old error.
console.error:
[CustomizableUI]
Custom widget with id loop-button does not return a valid node
Segmentation fault
Every time you scroll it starts the videos. Even if you stop them it restarts them. And there were a fuckload of them. Very irritating. Luckily you can mute the tab.
The videos on that page use JavaScript and scrolling to control when a video plays. The setting you are referring to probably controls autoplay options set from HTML. I doubt any kind of setting in Firefox would disable JavaScript controlling videos as that would break custom controls.

True, but I'm not sure that's a bad thing. I usually prefer the default controls on HTML5 video players to whatever the site wants to cook up. Somewhat similar to scroll bars and form elements. Native, please.
