I've first spotted this issue when using basilisk with an earlier version than 2021.03.11, while it still occurs after an updated browser-version:

When loading a user's profile on youtube (I guess that this "bug" just happens if the user chooses to display an video if his profile gets clicked), that video's audio gets started and overlayed even when switching to the "video"-tab" at the user's profile, while that video would be displayed on another tab, the video-section just displays the uploaded videos. In case of viewing a video by clicking it in the video-tab within youtube on a user's profile ...the previous overlayed audio keeps continuing, also if pausing the current video which got manually selected (so the manual video gets stopped correctly just the "home"-tab's video keeps getting played in audio). Anyway, this issue could get solved if refreshing that window's tab while it seems to occur again maybe if browser's cache getting cleared and it don't seem to happen on ever profile, nor on just single profiles, I guess.

Not sure if it appears if switching from "home" to "video"-tab before that video fully loads or if some other methods seem to be connected in that case? At least this community's search-section don't seem to find results about posts yet, while I was trying to reproduce this "bug" somehow I cant get it re-appear in a similar way when updating my browser to basilisk's version 2021.03.17, either it got fixed or just had another method to get its audio overlayed in those sections? So far I just recently updated this browser, maybe other users notice an identical issue or could refer to more info there too.

In case of details about the used device, I could add info if they'd be useful for the developer/coding-teams?

This problem exists ever since they started to use AJAX to load pages instead of proper navigation. Apparently they use some chromeism/new shiny code piece to detect navigation and stop previous video which fails to trip in Pale Moon/Basilisk.
I don't know if it is even possible to find cause of problem, youtube being horrible code mess as it ever was.

I also see this in Pale Moon. I just either pause the intro video or mute the tab as a workaround. It's annoying I know, but unfortunately Google just love breaking things.
