Cannot get rid of notification from videos

Every time I browse to a webpage that loads a video, Firefox makes a notification for the video, even when the video is not playing. When the tab is closed, the notification won't go away. This notification even has a play button, which doesn't do anything (after the tab is closed). I can't swipe it away, and the only way to get rid of it is to close Firefox from the recent apps screen. Is there a fix for this?

Hi

I belive that this is partly linked to the Android operating system that your device is using. You may want to try the new Firefox Preview as this may handle this process differently.
