Description
Sometimes the favorite icon is from a tab that has been closed.
Sometimes audio keeps playing from a tab that is closed. Reference https://redmine.stoutner.com/issues/595.
This bug is very intermittent and I haven't been able to pin it down or reproduce it reliably. The root cause is probably that the TabView and the WebViewPagerAdapter get out of sync, but I haven't yet been able to figure out what would cause that to happen (and hence, how to fix it).
If anyone has a way of reliably reproducing this bug that would be very helpful.

Steps to reproduce.
1. Open at least two tabs.
2. In one tab, load youtube.com.
3. Play a video.
4. Close the tab while the automatic timer to start a new video is running. This is the crucial step. Closing the tab while a video is playing instead of the timer countdown will not produce this bug.
5. When the timer that is now, somehow, still running but not associated with a tab runs out, the audio from the new video will start to play.
6. When the audio from the invisible video starts playing, the YouTube favorite icon will be displayed on another tab. This other tab is fully functional with the current content. Navigating to a new URL in this tab will load the correct favorite icon.
7. The only way to stop the audio from playing is to close Privacy Browser.
- Status changed from New to Closed
