Details

Seen with 57.0a1 (2017-09-06) (64-bit), latest 56.0 beta, and releases down to 52.0.

When I watch a video on YouTube and navigate away from the current page showing the active video, the audio does not stop playing until I load another page, or go forward and the video starts again to play.

Steps:

1. Open https://www.youtube.com/picktorial
2. Click one of the videos with audio like "How to add a custom Watermark in Picktorial 3"
3. Wait until video started playing
4. Navigate back in history

After step 4 the audio does not stop playing.

This only happens when the former page is in the bfcache. If you start with the video page directly eg after a restart of Firefox it doesn't show this behavior.
Something I missed in my last comment is that my system is MacOS 10.12.
Actually this is a dupe of bug 1363234. Thanks Florin for your feedback on IRC!
