Steps to reproduce:

there's a KDE bug for this; muting one Firefox in the Icons-and-Text task mutes them all

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=375943

the discussion there suggests a solution could be partially upstream

Actual results:

using KDE here. two windows, each with page playing audio

mute one by clicking on the speaker icon for that non-grouped FF window in the task list, OR right click and mute in the menu, and it mutes both windows

I think a gist could be that Firefox (and Chrome) could implement something that better allows DEs/panels/tools to control individual tab audio in a proper way

Expected results:

mute one window, it should not mute the other(s)
