Is there a way to opt out of the "inactive tabs" feature?

With the new upgrade to Firefox Quantum, the "inactive tabs" feature is giving me some trouble. When I play music on Youtube in a separate tab, eventually I'll open enough tabs that the music cuts out and eventually stops altogether unless I go back to the tab. Is there a way to change this, or do I just have to keep visiting my Youtube tabs to keep my music playing? Thanks!

I had a quick look at this and wonder if using the "mSession Keeper" extension might help overcome your problem?

It may be that it is an inactivity timeout on YouTube that is killing off the music, in which case I would hope this extension would get around that.
