To expand on this, there are two settings you can put in user.js / prefs.js (desktop) or via about:config (mobile), documented on the Mozilla Wiki:
user_pref("media.autoplay.default", 5);
user_pref("media.autoplay.blocking_policy", 2);
Two bonus settings if you want to get rid of the "do you want to enable DRM?" pop-in bar when hitting one of those sites:
user_pref("media.gmp-widevinecdm.enabled", false);
user_pref("media.gmp-widevinecdm.visible", false);

I would love to find a Bill Watterson one, if anyone knows.
Here you go, I'll throw in some bonus ones as they're all linked together in the Bloom County sidebar:

The Arch wiki may have some ideas for you - tl;dr is that GDM uses a global dconf db over in /etc/ and this might be the root of your problem (these configs might not get cleaned up with a --purge?) I'm a LightDM user so best I can do to help: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/GDM#dconf_configuration
Quick update for anyone still reading this thread:
@[email protected] As with any other app, we flagged Fennec and Mull with KnownVuln until the app is updated. Contributors fixed the issues that delayed versions 130 and later. Stand by for the build.
A bit of backstory on how we got here - in June 2024 Mozilla chose to (a) integrate the source tree of Firefox Mobile into their huge monorepo ("gecko-dev"), and (b) move the source off of Github onto their own git servers ("Mozilla Central"). You can read about it in the now-archived old repo:
This was then compounded by a core Android build kit ("NDK") choosing to remove parts of the toolchain which is/was used to build Firefox releases (ergo, forcing another change to build process):
Together these have caused a bit of a kerfuffle in getting new releases compiled and released via the official F-Droid methodology. See the other comment about the Mull version in their private repo, they're having to use a Mozilla pre-built clang (a compiler toolchain) now to make it work for the time being.

One of the links from here led me to https://deadsimplesites.com/ which has a lot of really nice examples of colour palettes and schemes for simple yet eye pleasing results.
Along this line of thinking, I use Lemmy and Mastodon as complementary rather than competing, but not in the way people want/use X/Bluesky. Lemmy (reddit) is great for the use as you outline, Mastodon (and Pixelfed) supply a visual experience if you make it work that way and don't expect/want an X like experience (so think more Instagram). Lemmy lacks multireddits which could solve some of this Mastodon use case, on reddit I have a multireddit named "Gallery" which combines a dozen picture-only subreddits.
One can follow hashtags like #photography or #catsofmastodon, discover like-minded profiles who only post pictures and minimal talk/chatter (a lot of actual skilled photographers are present) and follow those profiles. It provides an experience that rounds out Lemmy, but I do admit I would love a "gallery" like view in the apps to streamline the hashtag viewing (Pixelfed does this specifically, but people are spread all over the planet - Mastodon proper pulls in federated data easier, IMHO)
A case in point - I enjoy playing a specific game (Destiny), the subreddit has 3.25 million subscribers and at any given time 500-1000 active users. There is just nowhere else to get the same amount of information (bugs, tips, latest news, etc.) than this community. If the UKJobs subreddit is like this, OP just needs to use it for what it is in their time of need.
