icon to the taskbar

Platform: Other
OS: Linux

SUMMARY
A small but annoying inconvenience: When watching Youtube videos in Firefox and
using Picture in Picture mode, a new icon will be created in the task manager
for the popup video. Things like floating panels or detached videos shouldn't
have icons like actual dialogs and applications, which creates confusion and
clutter in the taskbar.
This is a Wayland issue and doesn't occur on X11: I'm running into it since I
decided to give Plasma Wayland another try with many of the core issues finally
being fixed over the past months.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open and play any Youtube video in Firefox, any video will likely trigger
it.
2. Click on the icon to enable PiP mode, which should put the video into a
small window.
OBSERVED RESULT
A new icon with the Firefox logo is added to the task manager for the video
window.
EXPECTED RESULT
This is the sort of window that doesn't need a task manager icon. This already
doesn't happen on the X11 session.
