I upgraded to iOS 6 a few days ago on my iPhone 4 and noticed the following:

When I am using Safari and visit a website that has embedded video, the video starts automatically. More specifically, the page loads, then the screen goes black for a moment with a QuickTime watermark in the background, then a video begins streaming. To get rid of it, I click "Done" in the upper right corner and I return to the page I was viewing. But after a couple of seconds the video again loads automatically, again taking over the screen. Repeat ad infinitum.

This happens whether I'm on WiFi or 3G. It wasn't happening before I upgraded from iOS 5, so I'm thinking this is an iOS 6 issue.

I have searched the Preferences menu as well as Apple's support site to no avail, but I'm glad to discover I'm not the only one having this issue (e.g. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4362397?start=0&tstart=0).

If this is a bug, then I'll wait for Apple to fix it. If it's a feature, I need to know if I can turn it off.

Any advice? Many thanks.
