The error is Uncaught (in promise) DOMException: The play method is not allowed by the user agent or the platform in the current context, possibly because the user denied permission.

If you disable autoplay, the scripts cannot play audio programmatically

ziroc commented 10 months ago

Well, I disable it for a reason. And I expect that it will work on sites that I have made exception for.

Try setting _media.autoplay.blockingpolicy to 0 or 1 in about:config. Autoplay will be blocked but the extension will work properly.
