one thing that annoys me on youtube is that it always starts playing the video automatically after opening the video page.

is there a way how to prevent it? i don't see such option in profile settings.

There plenty of greasemonkey scripts available to do this exact thing (search for 'autoplay'). Also, this belongs on Super User.

I use greasemonkey. That plugin is the shit. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/748/

I'd say it actually belongs on http://webapps.stackexchange.com/ but you can't vote for that!

A: 

You can install the flashblock firefox extention. That will prevent anything flash from starting automatically. This works perfectly on youtube, and as a bonus it will get rid of a huge amount of annoying ads with blinking text or whatnot.
