1845004 - Audio stuttering when opening page in a separate tab

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Core :: Audio/Video: Playback, defect)

Description

[Nazar Mokrynskyi]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/117.0

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open anything with sound on YouTube
2. Open aliexpress.com
3. Click on AliExpress logo in top left corner

Actual results:

Every time logo is clicked and page reloads YouTube audio stutters briefly even though it is in a separate tab (aliexpress can be even opened in private window). Aliexpress is just one of many examples when this happens and seems to be the easiest to reproduce in basically 100% of cases.

Expected results:

Audio should play smoothly.
