Edit: sadly, Auto Tab Discard did not fix my issue. Firefox is also set to block audio (including video with audio to my understanding) by default, which I never changed so I don’t think that helps with this issue either.
So I installed pop on my laptop a few months ago, and recently got another one where I installed arch. On both laptops I mostly just watched series, and often times I’d just leave the laptop with the media player still open.
Now to the issue: Randomly throughout the day, it would just start playing whatever I left open, usually after a few hours of being left alone. Now that I think about it, I think it was only crunchyroll. Does anyone experience anything similar, or might even have an idea as to how to fix this or what causes this? Is it just crunchyroll being buggy?
Maybe something is sending a play/pause signal? My headset will automatically pause media when I take it off and resume playing when I put it back on, but sometimes it triggers when I’m not wearing it and starts playing whatever I was playing last.
Maybe check the keyboard shortcut list to find if some kind of keyboard shortcut has been bound to play/pause as well.
The only peripheral I have on there is a USB mouse with no media buttons, and the laptop lid is closed so I doubt it’s hardware causing this, but a good idea nonetheless
