Solved: How do you stop auto download of videos
I use firefox.
How do you keep video's from downloading and playing on sites automatically such as you-tube.
When I go to people videos or their youtube account most download and play before I even know it..

Turn off Flash.

I don't use FF - but I do know there is some kind of add-on for Flash.

You are welcome!

For IE8 I keep Flash turned off with a program called
Flash Switch. Then can turn them on when I want.
