Unusual Youtube behavior

[martinocando]

I missed to report this during Beta since I was mostly using Chrome at that time, but chrome became so slow that I switched back to Safari as my main browser.
Now, every time that I finish watching a video, and I click on another tab, the video automatically restarts, so I have to go back to the youtube tab and stop the video. Is very annoying. Is there a setting I can turn off to avoid this? Is anyone having the same issue?

It doesn't happen in Chrome or Firefox, BTW.

I don't have any issue like that but it may be related to the auto-play blocking feature. You can disable it for youtube.com in the Websites tab of the Safari settings.

I assume you have already but make sure you report the bug to Apple at bugreport.apple.com

Well, looks like it was that. It hasn't restarted any video since I set it to block auto-play. It was enabled.

Thanks a ton for the help.
