Youtube Music pauses when not in focus

When playing music on music.youtube.com, if I navigate away from the tab, by either moving to a different tab or opening a different application the music pauses. This happens consistently with two different Firefox profiles.

I admittedly have a quite a few plugins installed, so I tested this in a private window and this issue does not occur.

I attempted disabling the obvious plugins UBlock, 'I don't care about cookies', and Tampermonkey without any success. I also tried using a different user-agent without any success.

This is great advice, I think I didn't do this earlier out of laziness.

The plugin that caused it is Mozilla Side-View!

Someone already filed a github issue for it https://github.com/mozilla/side-view/issues/441
