In my browser, I often keep a lot of tabs open as a sort of to-do/reading list, and sometimes those tabs include YouTube videos.
Is there a way to keep a video from playing again automatically every time I reopen the browser?
I'm not as interested in a playlist hack or browser-wide setting that will turn off AUTOPLAY for all videos. I really need something to turn off particular tabs/videos specifically… like a URL parameter?
I generally use Firefox, but if the solution is browser specific, a Chrome and Safari solution would also be helpful.

It seems that URLs in the form of
http://youtube.com/v/{id}don't autoplay.So simply convert
to
It also shows the video in a larger format, without all the ads, etc., surrounding it.
