Picture in Picture: why closing the video opens the tab?
I've got a question/suggestion about Picture in Picture feature. Why "Close" button works the same as "Back to Tab"?
Scenario: Close the Picture in Picture video by clicking on the [X] button or Cmd+W shortcut.
Actual result: Picture in Picture closes and Firefox window opens, on the tab containing the video. This is very strange behaviour. If I close the video, I don't want to watch it now. Essentially "Close" button works exactly like "Back to Tab" button - so what's the point? If I wanted to switch to the tab - I would click on "Back to tab".
Expected result: I expect Picture in Picture video to close and nothing else to happen. Don't open the window/tab containing the video.
Thanks

That is expected behavior. You open the PiP via the tab that plays a video, this open a standalone player. If you close the PiP player then you can continue viewing the video in the original tab. If you want to stop playing the video then you need to click the stop (play/pause) button in the tab or close this tab.
