This is the smallest and silliest of nits, but when I'm playing media in private browsing mode Firefox tells the OS that it's playing media rather than being specific about what media it's playing - which is good! - but what it says in the volume control popup when it does (see attached) is:

"Firefox is playing me...."

Which is clearly short for "playing media", but in North American vernacular at least, "being played" means being manipulated or taken advantage of.

I'm not sure what, if anything, we should do about this. This is on a last-gen Surface Book, current Nightly, current Win10. It's reproducible in current release Firefox on the same platform.
