Youtube Music pauses when not in focus

When playing music on music.youtube.com, if I navigate away from the tab, by either moving to a different tab or opening a different application the music pauses. This happens consistently with two different Firefox profiles.

I admittedly have a quite a few plugins installed, so I tested this in a private window and this issue does not occur.

I attempted disabling the obvious plugins UBlock, 'I don't care about cookies', and Tampermonkey without any success. I also tried using a different user-agent without any success.

So you did turn all Addons off and then turn each on/off to find out which was the cause? You have to turn all Addon on and test each separately to find the issue regardless of how many you have installed.

This is great advice, I think I didn't do this earlier out of laziness.

The plugin that caused it is Mozilla Side-View!

Someone already filed a github issue for it https://github.com/mozilla/side-view/issues/441
