I like to go to YouTube and open a few(1-10) movies in tabs and after it has loaded I watch it(I have to manually pause every movie after I open it). Is there some way to make YouTube pause it by default?(any YouTube preference or maybe FireFox Plugin?)

This would also be handy for when doing "open in new tab" on links that don't advertise their destination being youtube (i.e., redirected through a link shortener). Avoiding the unexpected audio followed by the search to find and pause/close the clip would be a Good Thing. – Dave Sherohman Jan 4 '11 at 10:12

Given that the solution is a Firefox extension, migrating this to Web Apps seems a bit churlish. – ChrisF Jan 4 '11 at 10:55

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/179387/ this is the most community endorsed addon ive found that does what you want. Apparently it does a lot of other youtubey things too.

And some scripts may help: YouTube Auto Pause On Tab/Window Change > http://wescript.net/scripts/18923

There's a handy script called YouTube Auto Buffer & Auto HD & Remove Ads for Greasemonkey.

Have a look at my screenshot, usage is self-explaining.
