Sound window keep popping up
Recently this annoying thing keeps popping up (image below)...
I scroll down a page and not touching volume and it pops up..
I am watching a video online and not touching volume and it randomly pops up..
I have firfox minimized and scrolling through file explorer and it pops up...
I am on my desktop and have firefox minimized, not touching anything and it pops up.
Is there a way to remove firfox from my volume mixer and just use the system volume like it used to be?

This is related to the new integration with media keys on the keyboard. If you aren't interested in using media keys to manage audio in Firefox, you can disable the integration this way:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button accepting the risk.
(2) In the search box in the page, type or paste mediakeys and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the media.hardwaremediakeys.enabled preference to switch the value from true to false
You might need to exit Firefox and restart it to break the connection with Windows, or perhaps closing all tabs that have played audio will be enough, not sure.
