Block auto-play always (on page load) except for NEXT in playlist would be useful for me #4

Hi, since Firefox's built-in auto-play disable feature isn't granular enough to make an exception for playlists, it would be very useful if an add-on had this functionality: i.e., never start playing videos just because a page loads, but after playing a playlist page, keep playing the next, like for example listening to an album, which are often presented as playlists.

If it's not possible to distinguish between the first time a page loads in a playlist (since they seem to reload the whole page for some reason) then next best thing is just to always play when a page contains a playlist menu: i.e., auto-play playlists pages, and don't auto-play (on load) regular pages.

Perhaps there's two senses of "auto-play" that are confusing, since your add-on is using the meaning of playing another video after a first (which always seems bad to me if not a music album for example) versus annoyances when videos play when the page is loaded (which is never welcome) which is what Firefox refers to as "autoplay" in its Options and location bar.

Thank you! I'm not sure I've ever noticed this one before :)
