Firefox playing Youtube video audio despite the tab it was in being closed
Earlier today, I watched a Youtube video and closed the tab, however after a few seconds the audio of the video began playing again. The audio does not loop - it will stop once it's done. Although If I open a new tab, strictly talking about opening a new tab via CTRL+T or the new tab button the audio will begin playing again after a few seconds, or if I open a new tab while the audio is playing it will reset. This does not occur if opening a new tab via opening a link in a new tab. If I open a new window, the same will occur except the audio will overlap with the audio from the other window. I've already tried rebooting my PC, clearing cache, clearing history, clearing cookies, and reinstalling Firefox, but none have worked.
