Facebook video playing in Firefox stops when clicking windows 11 start button or opening solitaire
Facebook videos in Firefox stop playing when clicking the Windows 11 Start button or opening Solitaire (after recent update)
This issue has just started after a Windows 11 update and restart. It has never happened before. I usually watch Facebook Reels while playing Solitaire at the same time — yes, I know, I don’t have a life.
This morning, after the update and restart, I opened Facebook and started watching a Reel as normal. As soon as I clicked the Windows Start button to open the list of programs, the video stopped. I then selected Solitaire, which opened to the taskbar. I restarted the video, clicked Solitaire to open the game fully, and the video stopped again. As soon as I minimize Solitaire, the video resumes playing.
I’ve tried all the suggestions I could find via Google, but nothing has worked so far. Note that this only affects videos playing directly on Facebook — videos playing in the Windows Media Player Legacy video player itself are not affected.
Any help would be greatly appreciated… and yes, as mentioned, I clearly don’t have a life 😅 Link to video showing what happens when I select Solitaire in the Taskbar. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1oKLIl3I4f9lfTZvbU-9pJ1gMbOU7h0zm/view?usp=sharing
Regards everyone.
More info... I run two monitors and it seem if I click on whatever I have open in the second monitor the FB video stops. So something has changed after I turned my computer on this morning and updated Windows. I even did a System Restore to a setting two days before this new update and nothing changed still have the problem.

I just finished a lengthy System Restore to before the mentioned Update and no difference still have the same problem. So may not be a Windows problem but next stop is their support pages.
