Since upgrading to Snow Leopard, any QuickTime movies embedded in a web page auto play after a short amount of time. I recall that there used to be a QuickTime plugin setting to turn this off, however it appears as if the new version of the plugin doesn't have any preferences at all.
Does anyone know how to disable QuickTime autoplay in Snow Leopard?
Firefox 3.5 is my default browser. I haven't tested this in Safari, but I bet that it happens there as well.

You can get the ClickToFlash settings at that post.
There is also this Apple thread discussing how to Turn of Quicktime AutoPlay which refers to that post.
Besides my comment to yours, there is this QuickTime HTML Scripting reference that might interest you.
Appears that if the '
AUTOPLAY
' attribute is set to 'true'
while embedding Quicktime content,it cannot be disabled. Though, I think there should be a way to get by that...
