New firefox version keeps resetting the settings in Windows Sound Mixer.

The previews versions had one or two instances within Windows sound mixer. The new version has 5-7 instances and I have my sound on 50% while firefox is set to 20%.

Every time I watch a youtube video it resets back to 50% and blasts my ears. 

Every time I adjust the sound back to 20% it just resets back to 50%.

Picture one - "firefox1" is showing two instances of firefox where I have a video open.

Picture two - "firefox2" is showing me opening two youtube videos and both are at max volume.


Becoming really annoying and would like some help. Never had such problems before!
