Tried the PiP mode with YouTube and it didn't work for me. The video pop-up still appears even after un-checking the box in settings; once I click the X button on the pop-up, the video pauses, and will unpause only if I return to the original tab and press play. I've tried the following:

- Restarting my computer - Used keyboard shortcuts to close the pop-up - Blocked autoplay media on the YouTube website

Thanks in advance.

Chosen solution

SOLUTION: open new tab, enter about:config enter "media.videocontrols.picture-in-picture.enable-when-switching-tabs.enabled" and toggle to FALSE

media.videocontrols.picture-in-picture.enable-when-switching-tabs.enabled = FALSE

Mine was media.videocontrols.picture-in-picture.enable-when-switching-tabs.enabled = TRUE, and I have no clue why it was stuck. But that fixed it. THANK YOU EVERYONE!!!!

Thanks, but I said I don't want to use about:config and wonder why unchecking the settings button does not work.
