Hi,

By default, Firefox uses "tap to play" when loading plugins. This is a security feature to insure you trust the plugin and it speeds up the mobile browser when loading plugin intensive content.

To turn tap to play off and have plugins automatically enabled:

  1. Tap the Menu button (either at the bottom edge of the screen or in the the top-right corner)
  2. Settings (on some phones you may need to tap More first)
  3. Display
  4. Tap the Plugins setting and choose Enabled.
