Details
Forgive me if this is not a security bug, wanted to thread safely instead of "risking" posting a major issue as a public bug.
The other night, i was playing a youtube video i had already seen on my ipad, in firefox, not the app.
so when i had seen what i wanted to see i simply closed the tab. (as i do on the desktop all the time) and for some reason i had the headphones on a while longer.
The sound kept going, not just for secounds but for minutes...
I semi paniced, and went into airplane mode(meaning should have no internet), it then paused the audio. good i thought, and went back to wifi. then it started to play again...
Yesterday i did the same intentionally a couple of times, and atleast one time it did the same as above, but a few times it keept playing the audio, but when i went into airplane mode it also kept playing the audio, then stopped when i went back to wifi.
Usually i have to hard-close the firefox app for audio to stop playing (ie drag the app in preview view to the top)
have only seen this on my ipad, not on my iphone, and only on youtube so far.
In safari this does not happen
Let me know if i can provide more info, or try something.
And ofcourse, if this is not considered a security bug just switch the category if possible.
reason i did this bug as a security bug, was that i was thinking tabs as their own spaces, and closing one should clear its stuff...
STR:
open firefox on ipad (ipad os 16.6, firefox 115.1)
go to www.youtube.com
play a video for a few secounds
close the tab without stopping the video.
audio continues to play.
Expected results:
audio and video stop immediately when i close the tab.

This is probably related to media specifically (content buffered up in the OS rather than in the browser), but maybe not if it doesn't happen in Safari. If the page itself is still running that's not all that great, and could prolong an attack in the case of some other security bug, but knowing about this bug doesn't let an attacker cause it to happen so we don't need to keep it hidden and can treat it as a regular bug.
