Hi, I was trying to see videos on Youtube and I was connecting my Headphones but, Firefox 90.0.2 (64-bit) keeps using the Speaker, doesn't works Up/Down Volume. My OS: Windows 10 PRO

I was testing on Chrome & VLC (stored videos in my PC) and works perfectly (I connected my headphones and I can hear from them, I disconnected them and I can hear from speaker).

Note that Firefox may need a restart to detect a change in the output device.
