User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:101.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/101.0
Steps to reproduce:
On Linux (KDE Plasma Desktop) the volume mixer shows one volume control per instance of Firefox I have open.
If I want to control the volume of one I can't know which one, so I have to change each one until I get the correct one.
Actual results:
Multiple Firefox volume controls show up
Expected results:
The focussed tab name should be included with the Firefox label so one can see which Firefox instance is being controlled.

Hello, I have the same problem on KDE plasma desktop as well, instead of seeing "firefox" instances" It would be nice to see "tab (website title) name" for have better separation between instances so I can know what am I controlling it.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::Widget: Gtk' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

Note: Pulse audio volume control uses correct Firefox tab names (or media names played there).
Can you confirm that?

What command are you using to list the applications that are connected to pulseaudio?

Ahh I see these:
pactl list sink-inputs | grep media.name
media.name = "playback"
media.name = "AudioCallbackDriver"
media.name = "Spotify"
media.name = "Disney+ | Video Player"

pactl list sink-inputs | grep media.name
media.name = "(115) Big Buck Bunny 60fps 4K - Official Blender Foundation Short Film - YouTube"
I can see that too yes

I think we can probably close this as it's not on the Firefox side. In KDE's Audio Settings the names are shown an pulseaudio does export them. So it's just a matter of KDE adding them into the Volume Applet and a request has been made and accepted here: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=453629
