How do i keep a video on a webpage from playing automatically?

http://www.strikeforce.com/index2.html
Im using IE8 and have several tabs as home pages.
Like the one above (Strikeforce MMA).

Problem is every time i jump online im looking at my first homepage tab (Anandtech) and always hear the video on the strikeforce tab playing.
Its annoying.

I only want those videos to play when i click on them.

How the heck do i set that? 😕

Bump
Was kinda hoping someone could jump i here and tell me a 3 click solution that makes me feel stupid for not seeing the option. :laugh:

yeah i dunno but i think ABP might work. Just block the video and then when you want to watch it unblock or disable ABP.

Flashblock does precisely that, click and it plays:

Love firefox, but had to give it up due to one very annoying thing.

On some of my sites if im scrolled way down the page and click on something, when i come back it puts me back at the top of the page, so i have to re-scroll down to get where i was b4, drove me nuts.
Otherwise i like Firefox better with all its cool plugins.

Re-installed Firefox and added Flashblock and it still doesnt block the video on the Strikeforce main page.
Go figure.

I have Firefox on my pc and just tried your trouble link ... Ad Block Plus is blocking that video for me until I change ad block from Red to Green for that web page. I am using the following filters in Ad Block Plus 1.1

Cedric's list
Fanboys list
Dutchblock
EasyElement
