> When a video is uploaded with a batch of photos on Instagram ... Features just for insta? I thought this was a web browser not an instagram browser. I guess same goes for the facebook container... what's up with building browser features for facebook? Why no reddit container, or google container, or amazon container?

It's possible this was a layout bug whose most common and visible consequence was on instagram? Or does FireFox's picture in picture code have special casing for some sites?

  FF has some special cases for specific sites. A bug linked above shows it for Insta and another for a bank.

The Instagram thing is because a feature in Firefox broke a website

Firefox stopped being a neutral browser long ago. See [1] and [2][3].
