When browsing Youtube in private mode, did they get rid of the AutoPlay button?

Yes, is my private browser, not logged into Youtube, the option is missing and the auto-play is forced on meaning if I stated a video and left the room for a few hours, youtube will play indefinitely eating up my precious MB/Month limit.

No, I still get the auto play slider.

I assume you know (IIRC) it (auto play slider) moved position, at some point, not that long ago, also it doesn't seem to appear, if your playing window is too small.

I think it may just be a bug in my FireFox.  I doubt Youtube is trying to push more non-stop ads to anyone who just left their computer alone..

Actually, there does seem to be a problem.
I found this, very recent (around 2 days old) thread:

I've noticed YT tends to re-activate the autoplay on its own if you're not connected to a YT account.
I've encountered this behavior on a tablet using Opera. But the button is still there.
The fact the button doesn't appear may be a Firefox bug, but the fact YT handles the autoplay feature as they please when you're not logged in is nothing new, and in private mode (where cookies are normally not used?), things are usually "worse" regarding YT options. They give you default options as they see fit.

It's not that the default option is auto-play, I already know it is.  It's that the button itself has vanished.

Have you made sure that autoplay is disabled in the browser settings?
