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

Steps to reproduce:

Open multiple tabs with sound.

Actual results:

Sound from all tabs is audible.

Expected results:

If there is sound playback from multiple tabs:

  1. Mute all but the most recent tab.
  2. When tab with sound playback is active, mute all others.

There are very few cases where sound from multiple tabs at once is desirable and in that rare case, the user can re-activate the sound from other tabs with one click.

For default behaviour, it makes more sense to limit sound to one tab at a time.
