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

:kcochrane, since you are the author of the regressor, bug 1921060, could you take a look? Also, could you set the severity field?

Changed the component because the video shows horizontal tabs resizing and isn't using the sidebar.

Component: Sidebar → Tabbed Browser

This is actually by design. UX/Product previously decided temporarily changing the min-width of horizontal tabs when they are overflowing and show the inline audio button was a better solution than increasing the min-width of every tab. It's a bit of a rare case that a video has intermittent sound and no sound I'd think.

when i open video in new tab and go to that tab. it has a brief moment before video start, and tab resize in this case too?

Flags: needinfo?(kcochrane)

This is due to media being blocked from autoplaying when initially opening the tab, then when you switch to that tab, the content takes a moment to load, then once the audio starts, that mute button appears. Every time one of those inline audio buttons are present, the max-width for that single tab will be increased to show the favicon, audio button, and a few characters of the tab title.
