User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:66.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/66.0

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open Firefox with a clean profile.
  2. Open a tab and start playing a video on youtube, then pause it.
  3. Open a second tab with a yt video and start playing it.
  4. Close the tab opened in (3).
  5. Click to play the video in the tab of step (2).

Actual results:

There wasn't any audio. There was an "AudioIPC Server: AudioStream" reported in system's audio software, but at 0% volume. If you try to change the volume in yt's player, it'll start again.

Expected results:

This is a regression. Bisection points to Bug 1515549.

[Tracking Requested - why for this release]:

I can reproduce the audio mute problem on Ubuntu18.04.
And also similar problem on Windows10, but the audio becomes maximized instead of mute at step5.
