   Eyyyyy, if you found that #firefox's auto-Picture-in-Picture feature (it's in Firefox Labs in about:preferences) was a bit too aggressive when it first released, then today's release in Firefox 133 might be a better fit: we've made it so that there's a higher likelihood that when we auto-PiP, it's for a video you actually care about, rather than the first video on the page.

   Try it out!

     @mconley That sounds good! What I really want is just for the pip to stay on top in Linux (Gnome, don't know how it is now in other DEs), without having to install an extension for it. As far as I can understand staying on top is a pretty importantpart of a pip feature, so it's really strange to me that it doesn't by default, and that you have to figure out totally on your own how to make it do that. Thanks for listening! :)

     @mconley Ah, yeah, I should've guessed it's a Wayland issue... Thanks for replying, a d digging up that link that gives hope that it might be better at some point! :)

     @forteller Hi! I presume you're using Wayland?

     Keeping on top on Linux was how it used to work, but Wayland doesn't let apps float windows on top of other windows themselves - the user has to right-click on the window to give it this capability.

     Apparently, change might be coming though? https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland-protocols/-/merge_requests/132
