Media pause/ playback not working anymore with KDE Connect in Firefox. How can I fix this?

I've noticed this issue for a few weeks now, but hoped that it is just a bug and will be fixed soon.
Sadly, this doesn't seem to be the case, so I decided to post this issue here to find solutions.

When I play a YouTube video for example, it shows me everything that's playing right now, and the current status (paused/ playing).
Sadly, I can't manually stop or resume it with my phone, which sucks because I then have to get my lazy ass up the couch and pause it on my laptop a few meters away :D
Or, I have to unlock the phone and use the remote input feature, which is annoying too...

I already checked the Flatpak permissions, the settings in KDE Connect (both on my PC and phone) and looked up on the internet for that problem, where I found both too much and nothing at the same time.

I think it's because of Firefox, because if I play a song on Spotify for example, it works fine.

Do you experience this issue too? How could I fix it?
It appeared out of nowhere, probably due to a update, I didn't do anything that might have broken it.

::: spoiler Software used and advanced information

Distro: Aurora (Fedora Atomic, uBlue), stable

I already tried to update everything manually and rebooted many times, both my phone and PC. :::

Can you change the play/pause status from the icon that shows up in the menubar in plasma? If not then the plasma Firefox integration is the issue.

Do you have Kde plasma integration extension working on Firefox flatpak ?

Yep, I do, as well as all permissions

IIRC this extension just doesn't work in Flatpak. You need to use Firefox outside of the sandbox, installed via package manager or official build from Mozilla.
