I've found the problem is that Firefox doesn't block autoplay of muted media at all - on purpose.
The Mozilla autoplay meta bug 1376321 has a link to the following HTMLMediaElement.play() behaviour flowchart showing the inevitable conclusion.
Reading the code at dom/media/AutoplayPolicy.cpp you need to kill the isInaudible variables as the old config media.autoplay.allow-muted was purged. Else you still need an addon that blocks autoplay.
