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

This isn't a "bug."

It is a great feature for people who don't know about extensions or aren't allowed to install them.

Hi Anggi Irawan,

To Firefox's Picture-in-Picture feature, an advertisement on YouTube is just like any another YouTube video - and we offer playback control for videos on YouTube in the Picture-in-Picture player window, by design.

So we're working as intended here. I'm going to close this as WONTFIX.
