This feature was introduced with Firefox 56:
http://mozilla.org/firefox/56.0/releasenotes
However I do not like it. Oftentimes I will middle-click a YouTube song link with the intention that it will open in a background tab and start playing, meanwhile I can continue with whatever I am doing in the current tab.
How can I reverse this new behavior?
Answer
Using the browser console:
Services.prefs.setBoolPref('media.block-autoplay-until-in-foreground', false);
