I want to kill a FireFox developer (question)

Distro openSUSE tumbleweed.
Maybe somebody here knows a solution ?
The problem, I am watching a you tube play list, and every freaking time a new vid starts, the volume increases.
Is there a way to set firefox, to keep his hands of my volume setting ?

I am not using pipewire yet I think, worth a check though.
Its not a new problem for me, I was hoping it would go away with one of the many updates I get, but no luck there.
I did find this, and that does not look good, a years old bug ?
Volume does not stay where it is manually set using pulseaudio

That sounds a lot like exactly the problem I am having.
I saw that ardour guy posting too, if I am not mistaken. ( Paul Davies ?)
Its a small Linux world

Don't think I can fix that, but lets try.

Fry-a-fox?
No foxes were harmed in the making of free and open source software.
They are all very happy:

From what I understand now, this problem comes from FireFox trying to save battery life.
I have some thinking to do, switching to jack might fix this.

I do not have ~/.pulse or ~/.config/pulse/*.config
in short: I can't see any difference arising from this setting, even though I agree that from its description it ought to work.
