It shouldn't happen without the addon "Video Background Play Fix". Did you activate it?

Hey, thank you for your reply. Unfortunately I did not install nor activate said addon. Only addon I have installed is an adblocker. You think it's rather a bug than a feature?

Hi

Do you have an example of a video where this is a problem?

Any video on 9gag does this. YouTube on the other hand does not work.
