Shortly after launching Firefox / Minefield music starts playing for few seconds

Whenever FF (Minefield) is launched, a minute or two or so after the launch, a few seconds of music is played. Not a recently introduced issue but happening for a long time ("years").

Reinstalling FF doesn't resolve this for me. Actually I run into this issue on both Wndows 8/10 and MacOS. I tried using a completely fresh install in a virtual box and issue still occurred.

Just for a few seconds - but rather disturbing and humiliating when in office/ public environment and volume is still up from i.e. online meeting or a previous (bad) audio connection.

FWIW: on MacOS is seems to me that the native Music app is being launched in the background which starts playing whatever is at the top of your playlist. Any suggestions from your end to resolve? And/or perhaps any relation with FF account?

Thx!
