How do I prevent firefox from popping out video windows, even though I have Picture-in-picture disabled?

I have Picture in Picture disabled on Firefox. For some unknown reason, sometimes when watching youtube videos in fullscreen the video pops out of the screen and goes to a lower right window. This window has no controls, no title and the video stays black and nothing plays anymore. If I right click on it I have the option of "showing controls". Why is this happening? Am I issuing some weird mouse or keyboard command? How the HECK do I disable this, since I don't want, ever, to see any videos on a floating window, like ever at all? May I remind you that I disabled PIP in the beginning?

Please help.
