It depends on the type of video. Many sites use Flash which can be controlled with Flashblock.
Note: Flashblock does not work with Javascript disabled or with NoScript installed.
However I discovered you can simply disable the Flash Player in Tools/AddOns. ...Jim Thompson
turn off FLASH ?

You can do tools/applications/flash/always ask
And there is a toggle-animated-gifs addon.
I guess HTML5 will kill Flash eventually, but there are tons of Firefox addons to control things.
Reader mode makes any web page plain text.

In that case I think you may as well uninstall it completely.
Get rid of the Flash plugin--it's a reeking mass of vulnerability--and use HTML5 for playback.

How do I set HTML5? ...Jim Thompson
I have Flash set to "Ask to Activate". Seems to work.
