Firefox autoplay must be disabled.

An XCCDF Rule

Description

Audio/Video autoplay may be disabled in an administrative policy by setting the Default key under Permissions, Autoplay to "block-audio-video".

Rationale

Autoplay allows the user to control whether videos can play automatically (without user consent) with audio content. The user must be able to select content that is run within the browser window.
