I've found that the buttons do not work for all. Digging a little deeper
finds there are several issues that cause the videos to play anyway:

and this:

"Bug 659285 - Extend media.autoplay.enabled to provide a way to disable
untrusted play() invocations"
I tested autoplay blocking with the following prefbar button in Firefox
42 (dev) and autoplay on/off is working there. So it's fixed in Firefox
41/42, but now the trick will be to get it fixed in SeaMonkey (2.35 and
other versions).
autoplay.btn
{
"prefbar:info": {
"formatversion": 3
},
"prefbar:menu:enabled": {
"items": [
"prefbar:button:autoplay"
]
},
"prefbar:button:autoplay": {
"type": "check",
"label": "AutoPlay",
"prefstring": "media.autoplay.enabled",
"topref": "value",
"frompref": "value"
}
}
The video on this page does not play at all for me:

All I get is a spinning whirligig on the placeholder. I tried reloading
the page after turning Flashblock off, and still got nothing.
Check to see if you have cookies turned on - I get the same when I turn
them off.
Oh. I do not allow just anybody to set cookies. I default to blocking.
Just checked. Allowing cookies did not help.
