- Rated 2 out of 5by Razinal Rozen, 3 months agoThis add-on (Audio Equalizer) prevents playback of any video thumbnail that doesn't have audio especially in less popular websites. This can be easily ascertained by simply disabling the add-on (Audio Equalizer) and seeing the problem disappear.
While in private mode with nothing but this add-on (Audio Equalizer) enabled and after the page is fully loaded. Bringing the cursor/touch pointer to a standstill over an 'image' thumbnail will trigger the fetching and playback of 'video' thumbnail.
Afterwards in the developer console (F12) we see the following warning (Yellow Background) generated immediately:
----------
An AudioContext was prevented from starting automatically. It must be created or resumed after a user gesture on the page.
----------
I would like to point out that I have had already changed the Autoplay permission in Firefox's privacy setting page (about:preferences#privacy) for all websites from 'Block Audio' to 'Allow Audio and Video' Before Installing this add-on (Audio Equalizer).
Above warning is then immediately followed by the error (Red Background) below:
----------
Uncaught (in promise) DOMException: The fetching process for the media resource was aborted by the user agent at the user's request. inject.js:97

----------
I tried to use the ON/OFF button in the add-on (Audio Equalizer) from its own popup so that the add-on (Audio Equalizer) remains enabled in Firefox but doesn't try to inject the following script which is the source of error ( into the page:
moz-extension://[ADDON-UUID]/data/content_script/page_context/inject.js
However probably thanks to Audio Equalizer's 'Access your data for all websites' permission, Unless you disable the add-on (Audio Equalizer) from inside the Firefox's add-on page (about:addons) the script will still get injected and thus no video thumbnail playback.
I even tried adding 'moz-extension://[ADDON-UUID]' to uBlock Origin's "My filters" and "My rules" tabs based on each tab's correct syntax while removing 'moz-extension-scheme' from "Trusted sites", nevertheless Firefox would still inject the script into the website so long as the add-on was enabled despite "ON/OFF" button being gray (presumably indicating an 'off' state) rather than black (presumably indicating an 'on' state) according to its own popup menu.
As it's not properly programmed to handle audio-less videos and there is no way included to prevent itself from activating on user-defined specified websites (say by actually having an options tab that comes with a configurable exclusion list inside add-on's Firefox page rather than its popup with its ineffective "ON/OFF" button); I believe that the badge granted to this add-on by Mozilla Foundation is without merit and should be revoked.
After all the following is a direct quote from hovering over the badge of each add-on recommended by Mozilla Foundation:
"Firefox only recommends extensions that meet our standards for security and performance" - Rated 2 out of 5by Knee Exercises, 4 months agoExtension keeps a power request alive in Windows even after video/audio has stopped, preventing the system from sleeping and automatic shutdown.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 18121299, a year agoIt works, but sometimes plugin breaks audio on some sites and not working.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Roper, 2 years agoI liked this initially, it worked well as an equalizer. Unfortunately it made YouTube music run like a dog so had to disable it
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 14790876, 2 years agoStopped working for me on Twitch in Firefox 102.0
- Rated 2 out of 5by Rok3r, 3 years ago
- Rated 2 out of 5by José75, 3 years agoAs already mentioned in other reviews. This plug in has one major flaw: it blocks some videos.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Sliderit, 3 years agoWorks, but some players are unavailable when activated like google player or twitch clips player
- Rated 2 out of 5by RenaldyHaen, 3 years agoAfter I installed this add-on, I can't change playback speed on youtube.
- Rated 2 out of 5by MySchizoBuddy, 4 years agointerferes with the video playback in youtube. You cannot speed up or slow down youtube videos if this extension is enabled.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Powergroove69, 4 years ago1) HTML5 Videos published with the JWPlayer can't be played (JWPlayer error code 224003),
2) would be nice to have further presets, e.g. enhancing spoken words.
I would give four stars when there is no interference with JWPLAYER. - Rated 2 out of 5by xghoster, 4 years agoGood addon. But it has one critical bug which destroys all advantages of this addon for me.
It breaks the speed control for playback on all sites. - Rated 2 out of 5by SkyWalker, 4 years ago😒👉This extension is interfering with google pronunciation/translation and no audio..!!👈😒
- Rated 2 out of 5by Kangkan Goswami, 4 years agoThe problem with this add-on is that it disables the play back speed control on YouTube.. I have to disable it when I need to watch something at higher or lower speed on YouTube.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13537429, 4 years agoAlthough the mono feature I got this for works, it breaks the HTML5 speed controls such as built into YouTube or from the Global Speed extension.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 15457383, 5 years agoCrap. The window does obstruct part of the interface and the window isn't resizable.
- Rated 2 out of 5by tom76, 5 years agoThe equalizer works very well. However, I do not know what is the reason that after installing this add-on I stop playing movies on the pages (they only play on you tube and facebook). If you correct it, it will be the best addition in this category
