Any adjustment to the volume while Firefox is open and media is playing results in the Windows 10 media control panel opening alongside the volume bar, lasting for about 5 seconds with no way to disable it. A similar problem with the Chrome browser can be resolved by going to "chrome://flags/#hardware-media-key-handling" and adjusting settings, though I cannot find a similar solution for Firefox. Does anyone know of one? I know it's a minor issue, but I would appreciate advice nonetheless. Thanks in advance.
