Closing Picture-in-picture now brings the source FF window back in focus - Can I disable that?

[Anonymous]

Again, another annoying 'feature'.  If I'm using PIP, it means that I'm focused somewhere else on the computer, very often in another desktop.  Closing the popup PIP player should not force me away from where I am.  This seems to be another really poorly thought out addition in 98, for which I can't find a remedy.

Also, I tried to contribute to the pinned thread "How can we make video experience in Firefox better for you?", but for some reason, I'm not allowed to.  Why?

Honestly speaking, I'm thinking to uninstall this good browser, just because of this creepy "feature".

Thanks for sharing this feedback! The thread How can we make video experience in Firefox better for you? has been closed—more info on that process here. 

But this post will be shared with that team right away.
