How do I get You Tube to start once I click on a link?

I used to be able to click on a You Tube link and it would start playing. Now it won't. What's going on? You Tube says it's Firefox.

Hi CaliforniaRoadtoad, it could be the anti-autoplay feature. When you are on YouTube, do you notice a new icon toward the left end of the address bar, like a play triangle button surrounded by an arrow with a slash across it? If so, click and and use the drop-down to give permission to autoplay. More info here: Allow or block media autoplay in Firefox.

Was that it?
