Picture-in-Picture Problems when in a Different Window

Recently, I've been noticing an issue with Firefox's built in Picture-in-Picture (PiP) feature. When watching media, such as a YouTube video, using PiP, the video runs as normal, but recently, the PiP completely breaks when I tab away from my Firefox window to do something in a different app. This wasn't the case a few months ago, so I'm not sure what changed to make this error happen. I had attempted to disable hardware acceleration to see if that was the issue, and nothing changes when it's enabled versus when it's disabled.

IMPORTANT

This doesn't happen exclusively with PiP, I just discovered, just any media playing in Firefox when it's not the focused window.

Also, attempting to run it in Troubleshoot Mode did not help.
