The case of the Mac that self-plays YouTube videos

Jeff Spivack writes in a story of terror:

My MacBook Pro (running El Capitan) woke us up at 6:30 this morning. It was playing YouTube videos all by itself. I don’t think anyone had been using the computer in the past 24-36 hours, but I do leave it on and awake all of the time. When we had gone to bed, there were no YouTube videos playing.

Jeff says the video was playing in a Safari window, and he checked by holding down the Back button to see how many videos it had gone through—he found at least 20 URLs in the list! He selected the oldest item, and got an error at YouTube that the video didn’t exist, and that page didn’t appear in the history.
