User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:140.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/140.0

Steps to reproduce:

I can reproduce by following these steps:

  1. Open YouTube (or another media site such as Soundcloud) in Firefox and start playback
  2. Close the laptop lid to put it to sleep
  3. Open the lid and press a key to wake the laptop up to open up the Windows lock screen
  4. Observe whether audio resumes before logging in

Actual results:

Media playback resumes as soon as the system wakes on the lock screen.

Expected results:

Firefox should not resume media playback until after the system is unlocked.
