Screenshot False Autoplay.png
User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:87.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/87.0
Steps to reproduce:
Navigated to arstechnica.com
Right click on this story https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2021/02/microsoft-is-seeing-a-big-spike-in-web-shell-use/.
Actual results:
Until the tab is clicked on, the tab has a media icon with "autoplay blocked" displayed, despite there being no media to block on the page.
Once clicked on, the tab reverts to showing only the tab title.
This did not occur with the previous implementation.
Expected results:
The "autoplay blocked" or "media playing" text and icon should only appear in the event there is actually media on the page.
Bug 1689852 did not seem to fully fix this issue, which was in my original report in that bug. It did improve the issue, however.
Sorry, just realised my steps weren't clear. What I meant was, right click on the above story, select open in new tab, but do not navigate to it yet.

Hi John!
I was not able to reproduce this issue on latest Nightly Version 88.0a1 - Build ID 20210317095331 on Ubuntu 20.04.
Please could you try to reproduce it on latest Nightly and tell us your input? You can download it from here: https://nightly.mozilla.org/.
Thanks!
Sure Marcela.
Actually I can't seem to reproduce this now, but I think I've found another bug anyway re autoplay.
Will close this as WORKSFORME.
Cheers
