Hello!

I have tried every recommendation I have found to stop the very annoying picture in picture feature in YouTube: 1. Unchecking the Enable picture-in-picture video controls option on the Firefox settings 2. Typing about:config in the address bar and press Enter, searching for "media.videocontrols.picture-in-picture.enabled" and setting it to false.

When I am watching a video on a play list and I want to get out of it and I press the back arrow on the browser tab, I get the annoying pop PIP video. Is there a way to totally disable this PIP feature?

Thanks

This is likely a YouTube feature and not related to the Firefox PiP feature as that needs to be activated via an actual media player that plays a video and never works automatically.

You can look at these prefs in about:config to see what settings work for you to block media auto-play.

  • media.autoplay.default = 5 [0:allow;1:blockAudible;5:blockAll]
  • media.autoplay.blocking_policy = 2
  • media.autoplay.allow-extension-background-pages => false
  • media.autoplay.block-event.enabled => true
  • media.block-autoplay-until-in-foreground

You can open about:config via the address/location bar. You can read the warning and click "Accept the Risk and Continue".
