It's quite unclear if this is a bug in the Windows Mixer app, or Firefox.  Several comments imply it's the Mixer, and happens with some other programs too, and closing it and reopening fixes it.  Perhaps reaching out to the reddit reporters would let us verify that.

Mass change P2->P3 to align with new Mozilla triage process.
