I can't stop picture in picture feature. And yes, I've tried options - browsing-disable pic in pic, but it doesn't exist in Firefox 90.0. Also I disabled all forms of picture-in-picture in about:config. AND IT STILL SHOWS UP! Please give me a solution that works!

Opening a fixed mini player automatically is a feature offered by the website and is created via JavaScript if the main player is scrolled out of view. A lot of websites now have a fixed (pop-up) mini player in one the corners once you start plying a video that stays visible if you scroll the page. This website mini player shouldn't be confused with the Firefox PiP (picture-in-picture) feature (you likely see the Firefox PiP icon if you hover the mini player).

Thanks for taking the time to answer but you didn't say how to disable it. furthermore, I don't think this applies to my picture-in picture problem. After a thorough internet search I discovered that your answer applied almost exclusively to YouTube users - not other videos. Also I never had this problem with YouTube so your answer cannot apply to me. But thanks anyway.

Can you post a link to a publicly accessible page (i.e. no authentication or signing on required)?

OK, assuming you're right and this applies to me, How do I stop it permanently. I absolutely hate it!
