The behavior of this issue has been modified by the implementation of bug 1580095.

• Before this implementation, the user would turn down the volume in the original player (with down arrow key) and the PiP would not show as muted.
• After this fix, when the user would turn down the volume in the original player (by the down arrow key), he would not be able to turn it back up (using up arrow).

I will set the branch status flags to evidentiate the change in behavior, but the original bug's reported behavior is present since implementation until branch 115.

This issue is no longer just aesthetic considering it gets stuck on mute, but it has the workaround of clicking any of the volume sliders so I will set severity S3.

Detailed steps:

1. Play a video and launch PiP. (Youtube)
2. Focus on the main player and lower the volume of the video using the down-arrow key all the way to 0%.
3. Attempt to Unmute using the up arrow.
   Expected: The volume properly increases with each Up arrow press.
   Actual: The volume appears to be stuck on mute.

Too late for Fx119
:mhowell wondering if there is any priority on this, if we can expect something for fx120 or this will be a later release

There's no real priority on this right now, no. I don't have a timeline I can give you at all, unfortunately. :(
