- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 15077437, 5 years agoDoes what it says, I wish I was able to change the email chime to use the same sound as used in desktop app. I have looked everywhere in browser and extension preferences and unable to locate the setting. I am on on a Mac, hope that it is not an OS specific preference.

div[title="Inbox"] > span:nth-child(3) > span - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14708620, 6 years agoWorks like it is supposed to. However I notice that it blocks the default sound that OWA makes when a new mail comes in. The sounds comes back when I disable the add-on. I am using office 365 OWA. This add-on will be perfect if it allows both sound and desktop notification.

Why does this plugin require access to all websites? Can't you filter it down to Outlook only domains?Developer response
posted 7 years agoHi,
The extension is activated for all websites which contain "owa" in the url path. More precise, the regex used is: "*://*/owa/*"
This is so because the extension works not only for office365 hosted by Microsoft (https://outlook.live.com/owa/) but also with internal hosted OWA by any company. Also for the enterprise office365 some companies use their own domain.
But if you have any security related concerns, you can build a custom extension just for your domain. The code is here: https://github.com/mihai-chezan/owa_notifications_firefox_extension
You just have to change the manifest.json, the line with ""matches": ["*://*/owa/*"]," and replace it with your domain.
