Are you sure that this is a PiP window and not a floating media player that some websites like YouTube offer ?

A picture in picture window is opened by clicking the blue PiP button that appears if you hover the player.

Doesn't the "Ctrl + Shift + ]" keyboard shortcut work as well ?


You can look at these prefs on the the about:config page to see what settings work for you to block autoplay.

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

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I accept the risk!" to continue.
