          media.peerconnection.enabled it disable WebRTC.

          Why would you want that? Doesn’t that block you from using basically any online call?

                WebRTC leaks your IP allowing third-party websites to exploit the WebRTC in your browser to detect your real IP address and use it to identify you.

                You still can use desktop apps to do that.

        You have to click the play button to play the video. If you set it to 2.

        EDIT Here’s a Mozilla wiki article about it.

        EDIT 2 You’re talking about media.autoplay.default. That controls if autoplay is on or off and what is blocked, Audio only or Video & Audio.
