This has been an issue with FireFox for at least the past ten versions of Firefox for me, but I'm just now bringing it up. When muting tabs, those tabs will become unmuted when they refresh, or if a new video starts playing in that tab. Everytime I search for people with this issue, I'm surprised to see no one else having this issue. I've given up from there each of those dozen previous times. I don't mute tabs that often, but when I do, this issue is infuriating. So infuriating, that it almost seems like this is a default setting Mozilla has to have been pressured into by advertisers, given how unpopular it must be.

I'm on Windows 10 with a %TEMP% path variable that points to a Temp folder on my 16GB RAM Disk. This has caused issues in the past, such as not being able to drag and drop tabs after running Glary Utilities or updating Firefox through Chocolatey's package manager if I didn't close FireFox before doing so, but such issues have always been resolved with a PC restart. This issue has not.

Is there some setting I can change in FireFox's about:config to stop this horrible behaviour?

Here's some additional context: for sites where I can block videos with audio, this isn't a huge issue, but on sites like YouTube, I'd like to be able to not have to re-mute the audio without stoping the next ad. If I could do this in such a way that I could mute the tab, only for it to unmute when the video starts playing, I would love that, but I'll take allowing the video to play muted if that means allowing the next ad that plays before that to play muted.
