Looks lime I spoke too soon. Weirdly coincidental, but unrelated to the previous problem people.com.
It's a random popup on a page with a different subject. No way to disable it I can see in the miniplayer settings.
Good work. Mark this mini player issue as resolved and have a nice day. New issues need a new post. Jones out.
Opening a fixed mini player automatically is a feature offered by the website and is created via JavaScript if the main player is scrolled out of view. A lot of websites now have a fixed (pop-up) mini player in one the corners once you start playing a video that stays visible if you scroll the page. This website mini player shouldn't be confused with the Firefox PiP (picture-in-picture) feature (you likely see the Firefox PiP icon if you hover the mini player).

I just found another site doing the same thing.
The thing is, these are pages where there are no videos playing, but as you say, this is under site control.
Are there any addons that deal with this. Or maybe CSS?

You can look at these prefs in about:config to see what settings work for you to block media auto-play.
- media.autoplay.default = 5 [0:allow;1:blockAudible;5:blockAll]
- media.autoplay.blocking_policy = 2
- media.autoplay.allow-extension-background-pages => false
- media.autoplay.block-event.enabled => true
- media.block-autoplay-until-in-foreground
You can open about:config via the address/location bar. You can read the warning and click "Accept the Risk and Continue".

You may have to click the media block icon in the address bar or visit "Tools -> Page Info -> Permissions -> Autoplay" to be able to start plying media on a webpage.

Can you post a link to a publicly accessible page (i.e. no authentication or signing on required) where you only see a floating mini player?
