linux, firefox, and duck duck go search engine---i want to stop picture in a picture. include every instruction like if i am to use the address bar, where do i find that?

When I encounter an embedded video on a website that plays, an icon to toggle picture in picture pops up in the URL bar (see attached image). I don't use picture in picture, and for some websites which have an "endless scrolling" experience with videos, such as reddit or facebook, it is slightly annoying that while I am focusing the middle of the screen, something changes in the top right, making me think a tab has an update and changed title. I have the picture in picture controls turned off in settings (one with the id=pictureInPictureToggleEnabled in general, my Firefox is not English), I thought it would also make said button go away but it does not.

so when I'm watching a video in a diff tab then navigate to a new tab, what appears to happen is a search box attached to the previous tab pops in that I cannot type into, but clicking the "go back to active tab" button in the seach box brings me back to my previous tab. pretty annoying and would like to figure out what the heck is doin this

Using hyprland, in one specific firefox profile, whenever I toggle PIP and resize it to be smaller than its original size or toggle float on the window, it just closes. Trying it in a different firefox profile, none of these issues are present.

For some reason my install of FireFox on Linux refuses to hide the picture-in-picture button in the address bar on video sites.
