When visiting a website and launching a video it plays fine. When I decide that I have watched enough and close the video window it moves to the side and continues to play. I have closed the video because I don't want to see or hear it any longer. This very annoying and I can't figure out how to prevent this from happening. Does anyone know how to disable this annoying behaviour? Firefox 94.0.1 64 bit Windows 10 Pro

Hi, It appears that this is now working as expected. Not sure what has changed as I did not make any changes on my end. Thank you for taking the time to read my post and respond.
