Beginners Questions • Firefox volume changes when using YouTube

The problem seems to come from the way Firefox handles the volume settings of the html5 video player. It gives the value directly to the sound server instead of adapting the loudness it internally. So it overwrites the user setting. And since e.g. youtube has a loudness normalization, the value can change to different values with different video. There is an old bug report but it seems not to be prioritized my Mozilla: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1422637

I have the same behaviour but never recognized it. I only knew that the application individual setting was always overwritten when I tried this long time ago. It seems this is only overwritten for a small number of applications which do it themself.

You could try other browser, e.g. Chromium doesn't have this problem.
